it has a lot to do with the health of the individual. otherwise, they wouldn't need so much medical care.



So you're saying the basic health of the individual American is approximately 4 times worse then the basic health of the citizens of any other industrialized western nation?




studies have shown that americans have more health problems and are more overweight than those from other industrialized nations. it all comes down to food choices. in general, americans are unhealthy.

Or are you saying that the lack of universal healthcare for all Americans has lead to us being a more unhealthy nation?



all i heard was 'blah, blah, blah i blame the government for not providing for me.' how about personal responsibility? do you need the government to tell you to eat a banana instead of a pop tart?
