This is what Bush calls the finest health care system in the world

Bush and the Republicans are lying about America's health care system again. Bush Claims ‘We Have Fabulous Health Care’ Compared To ‘Other Systems Around The World’

In 2002, the U.S. spent more on health care per person than other industrial countries like Britain, Canada, France, and Germany. But unlike those countries, which have universal health care systems, there are roughly 47 million Americans who lack health coverage.

In 2000, the World Health Organization (WHO) did a comparative assessment of the health systems of 191 countries. The WHO found that in terms of the five measured performance indicators, the U.S. ranked 37th:

The U. S. health system spends a higher portion of its gross domestic product than any other country but ranks 37 out of 191 countries according to its performance, the report finds. The United Kingdom, which spends just six percent of gross domestic product (GDP) on health services, ranks 18th . Several small countries — San Marino, Andorra, Malta and Singapore are rated close behind second- placed Italy.

Go look at Michale Moore's Latest Sicko News.

I wonder if anyone has even dared tell Bush that the UN has rated the American health care system as 37th in the world, right behind number 36 (Costa Rica) and just ahead of number 38 (Slovenia) and number 39 (Cuba.) Somehow I doubt it.

Like everything else the Republicans think America does so well, it is only really good for the very wealthy who are not kept from accessing it by lack of funds.
