The United States government pays more per capita for health care than any nation in the world.

Read it twice if you need to.

We spend nearly twice what Canada does, while 11% of children and 20% of working adults have no health insurance. I do not blame the government for these failures, but as long as pharmaceutical companies can afford to buy multiple Super Bowl ads at $2.4m per 30 seconds, reform is needed. I believe universal health care can work- it does in Canada, contrary to popular belief (And has its critics without a doubt.).. and our military hospitals served me for many years without negative incident. Why we couldn't tailor public hospitals to the populace is beyond me.
