Nothing has changed at all in 12 years. Surely the Greek model is one to be envied and admired now, right? And the Italians, perhaps this has something to do with these countries hanging on by a thread... The Colombians? Of course. How did the US healthcare system fail Sarah Burke?

"The World Health Organization's ranking of the world's health systems was last produced in 2000, and the WHO no longer produces such a ranking table, because of the complexity of the task." Thus if you click on and look at all the figures and ranking tables quoted, it shows the new source of the information aggregation, which is current, which is from a multiplicity of health organizations around the world, just not solely from WHO.

Healthcare shouldn't be obtainable only for the wealthy. 40% of American homes are within a few paychecks of poverty. We are the only first-world country in the world that still pays private people to provide our health care, but they only make a profit by not providing us health care. That's simply crazy.

![]() They still have a $300,000 bill to pay in America, because the American healthcare system doesn't allow everyone - including elite athletes competing in dangerous sports - to be insurable here, let alone be able to afford huge copays for financial disasters.
Did you read the story? The family cannot afford to pay the bill. They were taking donations, so they wouldn't lose their house, future, savings, etc. Responsible people shouldn't suffer that.

Wouldn't it be better that she had been able to be insurable in the US? (purchase of temporary travelers insurance) Quote:

Too bad her Universal Canadian policy didn't cover her. But I guess to the canadian gov the universe in universal stops at the border. Now Riot, how will the millions of illegals living here be handled under Obamacare. Will they: 1) Be required and able to purchase health insurance 2) Be subsidized for a policy if unable to pay 3) Be treated via ER as they are now 4) Be refused treatment And while we're at it. Will Americans who refuse to abide by the requirement to have insurance 1) Still be treated at the ER w/o insurance 2) Be refused treatment Because as you have stated ad nauseum there is no fine or threat of jail for not abiding so I tend to think a lot of uninsured people will simply ingnore the 'requirement' |
