Best health care still in the US?

What's the real deal in America?

There is no doubt that there is a problem with the health care system in the US. In my opinion, the main problem, however, is not necessarily the system itself, but rather the incredibly unhealthy habits of a majority of Americans.

Unfortunately, neither national health care nor more competition, etc. is going to change that fact. Nonetheless, health care is a problem that America must address.

Still, the first rule of thumb should be: do no harm. The second rule of thumb should be: accept that the system isn't completely broken.

The fact is America provides some of the best health care in the world. When the rich and famous of the world get sick, such as the Premier of Canada, they don't rely on the hospitals in their national health care systems, they come to America. In the end, America offers the best health care money can buy. Unfortunately, most American just don't have enough money.

Ultimately, fixing the health care system will not be easy and there will be NO easy fixes. More important, fixing the system will take time, probably a lot of time. Moreover, fixing the health care system will take bipartisanship, something the last several sessions of Congress - some led by Republicans, some led by Democrats - have been completely incapable of achieving.

Thus, it's time to clean house, on BOTH sides of the political aisle. We can't just continue to vote for the other party every time Congress fails America. It's time to vote against the power structure, against the political structure of America.

It's time to vote against the incumbents.
