The USA has the worst health care service of all industrialized countries

I remember years ago, when opposing the Health Care Act (dubbed by its opponents, Obamacare) was criticised because it meant that the legislation implied that the USA health system was broken. Then Congress leader, John Boehner said that the USA had the best health care system in the world.

Well, we know now, what we knew then, the USA health care system, is the worst among industrialized countries. The issue is that for Americans, admitting that, is a sign of weaknesses. And in the meantime, people died, and don't get the health care needed.

Here it's a report by Reuters on the issue.

The one thing that really gives me courage is that we in Australia, have a better health system than in the USA, and still, we here complain for the "lack of care". We should be more grateful for what we have.
