American Health Care System: 10 Surprising Facts

Here is a nice list of 10 Surprising Facts about the American Health Care. These aren't surprising to me of course, they are "surprising" in the sense that they are seriously under-reported in the media.

And it is exactly those good aspects that are threatened by trying to reform our system in the direction of say Canada's or Great Britain's.

For the record, I agree changes to our system are needed, but not the kind of changes that those on the political left are calling for. I support the views found at FIRM: Freedom and Individual Rights in Medicine.
