Our Friday "feel good" about the health care system segment

From the Wall Street Journal, a report on more Americans, many of them with health insurance, delaying or skipping medical care because of costs.

And, from the Associated Press, a story on some parts of the country (the Southwest) having uninsured rates of up to 30% - up to 18% of children. One health policy researcher reacted, "There are substantial inequities in coverage depending on where you live, and they seem to be getting worse."

God bless America and its greatest health care system in the world (as some would have us believe).

One negative report again. But we have to realise that health care turned to hi-tech business, where broken hand treatment cots thousands of dollars. I think it utopic thought, to have access to top health care for all citizens...it's sad, but it's reality, no matter if in USA or Canada!
Take care!
