美国的医疗费用如此之高,为什么不学学福利好的国家,先把医疗费用降下来,而先强迫民众接受昂贵的保险费用?本末倒置,愚蠢之极!
“The U.S. spent 16 percent of its GDP on health care. This proportion was nearly double the OECD median (8.7%) and over 40 percent more than the country spending the second-largest share of GDP (France 11.2%). ”“In 2008, health care spending in the U.S. reached $7,538 per capita—far more than in any other country studied and more than double the OECD median of $2,995. Health care spending in the next-highest spending countries—Norway and Switzerland—was less than two-thirds as much per capita ($5,003 and $4,627, respectively). In all but two of the remaining eight countries, spending per capita was less than half the U.S. figure, and in New Zealand it was close to one-third ($2,683). ”
I am a doctor paying a lot of tax. I am agianst using tax money for dirty wars, and I strongly support Obama care to cover more people. Yes, as DumbGoose said, the medical care should be available to all people (at least all legal residents, not only some people).

Really believe that U.S. has to move forward to change its health care system and fundamental ideology. The final goal should be that, as O8 said, healthcare should not be a privilege for a few but a right for all.
It is really surprising to see that so many U.S people, if not all, do not think this is the right idea. They say that the costs will be higher or too high. However, this goal should be achieved at all costs.
