Not only that, in many of those countries there are long waits to get fairly routine procedures. If I want to get an MRI right now, I'd rather pay $500 for it right now rather than have to wait for 5 months and and get it for free.

When you compare our health care to other countries, there are things better about ours and there are things better about theirs. But when you weigh all the pros and cons, I still think ours is the best.

By the way, I have no problem requiring everyone to have health insurance. In California, everyone has to have auto insurance. If auto insurance is required, I don't see a problem with health insurance being required.

i agree that our health care is the best-but, it's not worth a damn if you can't access it.
