They’re costs all of us are bearing in the form of soaring premiums, co-payments, and deductibles. Americans spend more on health care per person than any other advanced nation and get less for our money. Yearly public and private healthcare spending is $7,538 per person. That’s almost two and a half times the average of other advanced nations. Yet the typical American lives 77.9 years – less than the average 79.4 years in other advanced nations. And we have the highest rate of infant mortality of all advanced nations. Medical costs are soaring because our health-care system is totally screwed up. Doctors and hospitals have every incentive to spend on unnecessary tests, drugs, and procedures. Click for Full Text!

The typical American is a fatass couch potato who eats too many fast foods, drinks too much of the wrong thing and doesn't get enough exercise. Infant mortality is directly related to illicit drug use, STDs, unfit mothers and ignorance yukon  posted on  2011-04-13   2:07:41 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #3.

Let me get this straight; our infant mortality rate is the worst among first world countries not because our health care system fails, but because mothers are ignorant, use drugs, and have sexually transmitted diseases, and the only way to bring down infant mortality is to stop funding "welfare queens" (whatever that means) - is that correct? If your theory were correct, then those other first world countries with universal health care, socialist education for the masses, and disincentives to work should produce more ignorant welfare queens and higher infant death rates than the US, not less. lucysmom  posted on  2011-04-13   9:40:30 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #9.

What other first world country has an illegal immigration problem like the US? What other first world country is flooded with illiterates like the US? Try to look at the entire picture for a change, lucy. yukon  posted on  2011-04-13   14:19:35 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   Replies to Comment # 9. #10. To: yukon (#9) Oh, how cute!
