True American Health

We have the most expensive--not the best--health care in the world.  The World Health Organization rated the U.S. 37th in health outcomes in the world--on par with Serbia!  In the 2000 rankings, the U.S. was near the very bottom of the top 40 nations, below Columbia, Chile, Costa Rica, and Dominica, and just above Slovenia, Cuba, and Croatia.  And it is worse today.
