Wow, really? That's impressively bad.

Over here we have a Bismarck health system (baseline coverage is publicly funded, supplementary insurances are available from the same companies for a premium), and the last time I had to go see the doctor it was free. I think I paid 15 NIS (about $4 USD) to fill the antibiotic prescription my doctor gave me.

America really needs to fix its health-care system, by now its decay has become incredibly low-hanging fruit. You have the rest of the civilized world to cherry-pick for efficient, caring health systems!
