And that is why the U.S. had the greatest healthcare in the world. It's why Canadian government officials flew in to Florida for heart surgery instead of using their own shitty government healthcare. It's why billionaire oil sheiks from all over the world fly into the U.S. for their healthcare (you sure as fuck don't see them flying into Cuba).
It was only one Canadian official who didn't want to share a hospital room. His constiuents voted his ass out of office after he did that stunt.
Guy, here's the thing you don't get. Of course the rich are going to get better stuff than the rest of us. But treatments that rich oil sheiks can get and the rest of us can't, not so much.
In terms of ACTUAL NUMBERS, we have the WORST system in the world. Highest infant mortality rate and the lowest life expectancy in the industrialized world.
