I just heard on the radio a few facts that shocked me - really.
The USA is the richest country in the world yet it's health care is rated 39th in the world, just above Cuba and behind Saudi Arabia.
The majority cause of bankrupcy in the US is payment for health care.
Despite being much further down the world rankings for healthcare than the UK, it's provision costs a third more.

The Yanks had such an opportunity to show the world how a modern Western democracy could work for the good of its citizens. Totally blew it. #Sad.
