Germans Puzzled by US Aversion to Universal Health Care - Der Spiegel
By SleepinJeezus on Sun, 05/13/2012 - 6:47am |
FROM THE ARTICLE: But in the US, which spends more than any other developed nation on healthcare, an increasing number of businesses are "less competitive globally because of ballooning healthcare costs," according to an article published by the Council on Foreign Relations in March. Indeed, despite the ample spending on healthcare, the system remains inefficient, and the US ranks with Turkey and Mexico as the only members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) without universal heath coverage, it adds.
------------------------------
From Der Spiegel, an excellent article (with plenty of factual representations) that ponders the craziness and cruelty of our health care debate.
