WHO'S RANKED #37 IN HEALTH CARE? WE ARE, THE SO CALLED "PIONEERS" OF THE NEW WORD? YIKES!


Something MUST BE inherently wrong with this picture:

As one of the leading First World countries, the United States is somehow stagnantly ranked at 37 in effective Health Care systems. We are way behind countries like Singapore (six, a country where caning remains as a legal corporal punishment), and still lagging in back of developing countries such as Colombia (22), Chile (33), Costa Rica (36), and Dominica (35) all ranked ahead of this land of the free.

  • About 46 million Americans are without health insurance
  • 80 % of the uninsured in the US are actual American citizens
  • Within the years 2006 and 2007, approximately 90 million Americans did not have heath coverage at some point
  • Almost 40% of the uninsured are making $50,000 or more annually, are offered some form of health insurance by their employees but still remain without because these middle income households still find heath care unaffordable
