[QUOTE="beatupbrown, post: 249589, member: 4488"] [SIZE=2]Brett you are not grasping some basic concepts here that we have covered over and over again . Quote from Brett[/SIZE] I would much rather my money to go to pharmaceutical and insurance companies who will take their profits and invest it in places that will ultimately end up with me receiving better care. The free market system so far has provided us with the best healthcare system in the world, and your the one trying to ruin it for us all [SIZE=2]Here are they facts Brett read real slow[/SIZE] The U.S. health system spends a higher portion of its gross domestic product than any other country but ranks 37 out of 191 countries according to its performance, the report finds. The United Kingdom, which spends just six percent of GDP on health services, ranks 18 th . Several small countries – San Marino, Andorra, Malta and Singapore are rated close behind second- placed Italy. The United States ranked last out of 23 industrialized nations in infant mortality, with a rate of seven deaths per 1,000 live births, compared to 2.7 in the top three countries; the United States tied for last in health life expectancy at age 60, indicating a shorter life expectancy and more years of life with poor health and disability; one-third of adults and more than half of children do not have a primary care medical home; more than one in three adults under age 65 were underinsured or uninsured at some time in the past year, and more than one in three have problems paying their medical bills or have medical debt they're paying over time; the United States ranks 15th out of 19 countries in deaths before age 75 from preventable conditions given timely and effective medical care; and the United States lags "well behind" other industrialized countries in adoption of EHRs with 17 percent of U.S. physicians using EHRs, compared to 80 percent of physicians in the top three comparative nations. Improving access to primary care through both universal coverage and a health financing system that encourages the use of medical homes would resolve many of the U.S. health system woes, according to the Commonwealth Fund report. The scorecard is based on data gathered for the Commonwealth Fund Commission on a High Performance Health System. Commission researchers looked at 37 indicators for health outcomes, quality, access, equity and efficiency developed by the Institute of Medicine, HHS, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the National Committee for Quality assurance [/QUOTE]
