American healthcare: Most expensive, "least equitable"

There is a new study out, ranking health care around the world--all the nation's health care systems. According to it, "Americans spend twice as much as residents of other developed countries on healthcare, but get lower quality, less efficiency and have the least equitable system... The United States ranked last when compared to six other countries -- Britain, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand, the Commonwealth Fund report found." But understand, it's TERRIFIC for the corporations. It's great for the health insurance companies. They LOVE us. They wouldn't have it any other way, let there be no doubt. See? This is why we need to change from the for-profit system we have now. The rest of the world doesn't do this--only we, here in the US, do. It's insane. It's stupid. It's irresponsible. And the thing is, it's irresponsible to ourselves. This is no way to run a health care system--or a nation. We need to demand better. We need to demand different. We need to change and we need to open our minds to change. We need to demand it of our government and we need to demand it of our corporations. We won't but we need to. Say what you will but we Americans just aren't that bright, we don't have control of our country, our health care system or our government, we need to change all this and finally, the corporations are king off like bandits, especially the health care insurance companies.
