[Info-vax] Down Again

[JF Mezei]

On the subject of medical reform in the USA.

I am in Canada.

My now deceased aunt had lived in California most fo her life, and
looked down on our medical system calling it "socialized medecine" etc
etc. But when some of her friends saw their cancer treatments refused by
insurance companies, she mellowed her stance a little bit...

Is there widespread feeling that there needs to be radical changes in
how the USA medical system works, or is the majority happy with how it
works and don't want it tampered with ?

>From a financial point of view, the USA is the country with the highest
(or one of the highest) per capita spending on health care, and this
affect the competitivity of USA products and services against countries
whose health care costs are lower.
