All well and good saying "you can't generalize" to dismiss criticism of US healthcare.

Here's a generalisation for you: The US has lower life expectancy than most of the 'developed' world and yet spends twice as much (OECD 2007).

No, the US healthcare is in serious trouble. My point was about a line of approach for the problem. In fact, India can give a few good pointers here, which you can see from how little I pay for my own, rather excellent, healthcare.

Indian healthcare has its own can of worms, but since we are not talking about that, I won't open it.
