1. yes it does
2. Maybe not worst in the world, I am sure there may be third world or under developed countries that could be worse.
3. US have the best doctors but the health care is the worst. Insurance speaking. People come to the US for the doctors but that has nothing to do with insurance plans and coverage.
4. No. While the United States is near the bottom of the list of industrialized countries in terms of percentage of population that receive health care, it's well above many other countries. The quality of health care in the United States (for those who can afford it) is unrivaled anywhere in the world.
5. yes in the industrialized countries, USA,USA,USA another thing the neo-cons will be proud of
6. We have the most unaffordable
7. Any system that will leave someone to die because they don't have insurance is a joke.
8. The United States must have the worst news media in the world. That's what makes you think the United States has the worst health care in the world.
9. Yes, we do have the worst health care system in the Western world.
10. No. The US is 29th, just ahead of Rwanda.
11. Nope You are referring to the study with that headline. If you read it you find out that US is reducing the number of preventable deaths in hosiptals not as fast as other countries. The devil is in the details. The moral of the story is this better read the full study before you read just the headlines.
12. We are worst as far as accesability but as far a quality of care we are among the best in the world.
13. no. top notch it is. the problem is the insurance companies and the people who abuse it. it raises the cost and the red tape makes people just want to not deal with it.
14. yes if u are rich u get the best care. if not u are screwed. i think we should all get the same treatment
