Glen Beck acted childishly on the air. US health care cost twice as much as the other industrial nations of the world. Right now it is consuming 18 per cent of the GDP and is projected to go to 20 per cent, twice as much as the other industrial nations of the world.
Worse, one if five Americans has no health care coverage and pre-existing conditions prevent many Americans from getting health care insurance.
For the years 2003 and 2004, just over 50 percent of all personal bankruptcies were the result of medical debt by those with health insurance.
The US needs a public health care system. In the UK it cost US$600 per year for public health insurance and 88 per cent of the citizens use public health care. The World Health Organization (WHO) rates 18th in the world. France is rated number one and Canada is 30th. The US is rated 37th.
Clearly our system can be improved and made more cost effective.
