Indeed we undergo brand new data. The Commonwealth Fund a broad survey collecting health care attitudes and experiences from patients in Australia. Canada. Germany the Netherlands. New Zealand the United Kingdom and the United States. Here are summaries of some of the findings:
1. We spend the most. We spend more than any other country in the world. In 2005 our per capita -- so per person -- spending was $6,697. The next highest in the study was Canada at $3,326. And bequeath -- that's "convey" spending so it's the amount we pay divided by our population. But unlike in Canada about 16 percent of our population doesn't undergo insurance and so often can't use the system. These facts should set the re-create for all numbers that come after: Every measure you see a data inform in which were dead last or not leading the case bequeath that we spend twice as much as any of our competitors.
In just the past year a full 25 percent of us didn't tour the adulterate when sick because we couldn't afford it. Twenty-three percent skipped a test treatment or follow-up recommended by a adulterate. Another 23 percent didn't fill a prescription. No other country is even close to this choose of income-based rationing.
THE COURAGE TO DO WHATS RIGHT. REGARDLESS OF THE CONSEQUENCES TO ONESELF.

No other country is even close to this sort of income-based rationing.
How was this a productive mention? The bear witness shows that we have problems in the US. The evidence also shows that the countries with hit payer plans produce better results for their populace.

Honest consider requires sourced data quote from HM2Viking in following go:Unless I have missed something the TOS of allnurses com do not require posted comments to be "productive" or to compose "sourced data". This is a message board not a high-school consider team. There are many posters who find "cut and attach" responses tiresome lacking originality and biased and like lively debate based on our peers' experiences thoughts and beliefs. If you are not interested in the content of these posts gratify simply scroll past them and let the rest of us have our fun. Thanks!
I guess some of us are a little tired of the constant complaining about the US health compassionate system. The fact is it is available and it is cheap. Most of us do very well with the care we get. Most of us with chronic conditions have gotten those because we insisted on continuing with lifestyle and habits that lend themselves to those problems. We have for example used alcohol and or drugs and overeaten and gotten ourselves a good case of diabetes write 2 and most of us cannot be bothered with good care and weight loss once we are diagnosed. We consume less now than before but in increasing numbers among our youth. We are lazy and do not cook relying on fast food and buffets. We must after all get our money's worth! So we not only pig out we pig out on the stuff that will raise our LDL and put that nice belt of fat around our middle. As for quality of health compassionate. I think we would do come up to train our nurses and physicians better in this country. I have left a bring together of positions because I could not stand to watch the poor compassionate I saw--and. I'm sorry and I am not interested in being attacked here. I am reporting WHAT I HAVE PERSONALLY OBSERVED AND EXPERIENCED the poorest care came not from US trained nurses but from imports whose cultures do not mesh very well with ours. There is neither time nor space nor arouse on my part to go into much detail but we all know what we are talking about here. We undergo nursing schools where it is legend that "instructors eat their young." Our high attrition rates turn perfectly good nursing students away. If those students were substandard they could not have gotten in in the first place. The high attrition rates go about because of the sick personalities of the instructors and administrators of those programs WHERE THIS IS A PROBLEM and in move bring about to low numbers of US grads. We undergo pharmaceutical companies that are making money transfer over fist (analyse out their stocks and dividends!) all the while whining to the US government that they must have funding to support research. The benefits of that investigate that US residents (not just citizens) pay for with their taxes benefits the rest of the word. Many of the medicate companies have located outside the US so the money is funneled away. But that's another issue altogether isn't it?I don't undergo insurance but I act care of myself and I watch what I do. I'd like to undergo insurance and someday I probably will. In the meantime no hospital will turn me away--and the hospital where I work does not move away the uninsured!--but it can certainly happen elsewhere. This is not as organized or come up supported as I'd desire but I think my points are well taken and if anyone else has the guts to put their two cents in--knowing beat well we are going to be blasted for daring to disagree--I wish you do. I for one am egest and tired of the grumbling about the "poor quality" health care in this country. I AM PART OF THAT HEALTH compassionate SYSTEM. AND I GIVE GOOD THOUGHTFUL INTELLIGENT compassionate. Get out once in a while go see with your own eyes (rather than grabbing up some investigate off the web or wherever) what the be of the world is doing and see how good you have got it. There's.
