Re: "Keep your government hands off my Medicare," says Mrs. Roger
Brother, do you know what criteria the Whirled Health Organization used?
The United States has the best health care in the world, for people who can afford it.
Places like Canada may have more equal health care, in that those who can afford good health care can't get anything decent anyway, but how does that make the care better? Because everyone's quality of life is equally poor?
The World Health Report says the main failings of many health systems are:
See? Obama wants to prevent those of us who can afford decent health care from getting it, by outlawing private practice!

Dr Christopher Murray, Director of WHO’s Global Programme on Evidence for Health Policy. says: "Although significant progress has been achieved in past decades, virtually all countries are underutilizing the resources that are available to them. This leads to large numbers of preventable deaths and disabilities; unnecessary suffering, injustice, inequality and denial of an individual’s basic rights to [subsidized] health [care and drugs to treat diseases caused by indolence and gluttony]."
"The poor are treated with less respect, given less choice of service providers and offered lower- quality amenities," says Dr Brundtland. "In trying to buy health from their own pockets, they pay and become poorer."

The World Health Report says the main failings of many health systems are:
- Many health ministries focus on the public sector and often disregard the frequently much larger private sector health care.
- In many countries, some if not most physicians work simultaneously for the public sector and in private practice. This means the public sector ends up subsidizing unofficial private practice.
- Many governments fail to prevent a "black market" in health, where widespread corruption, bribery, "moonlighting" and other illegal practices flourish. The black markets, which themselves are caused by malfunctioning health systems, and low income of health workers, further undermine those systems.
- Many health ministries fail to enforce regulations that they themselves have created or are supposed to implement in the public interest.
