Amazing. The fact that the most privatized health "care" system - yours - is in reality the most expensive one in the world (50% more expensive per capita than the next-most expensive system, and costing more than double what the average western health care system costs, with absolutely no higher life expectancy whatsoever) - doesn't even make you wonder if that one-liner is at all accurate? Or is it that your religion/"work experience" forbids you to acknowledge such doubts?
