glassgowkiss Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Can anyone explain why is it still called by many "the best healthcare system in the world" ? Data points it's by far the worst and most expensive.

rob Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 its difficult to make it the best when so many folks eat big macs actually, that's a common misconception and oft-repeated (and oft-debunked) falsehood. it's not poor diet that is causing our problems (although it is not helping) -- When compared to European healthcare, even accounting for our increased obesity and poor diet, our healthcare system is STILL disproportionately bad. Just fixing our fatties isn't going to get us out of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
