HW 29 - Reading and noting basic materials

In a America we are mant to belive that we have the best health care system in the world, that are medical care is unbeaten in the whole world. But the usettleing truth is that the United States lacks in delivering timely and effective care when compared to other advanced nations in delivering timely and effective care.

In Michael Moore's documentary, “Sicko,” he brought to light the virtues of the government-run health care systems in France, England, Canada and even Cuba while comparing it to the failures of the largely private insurance system in the United States. It is without doubt that Mr. Moore overstated his case by making these foreign systems look flawless. But there is still overwelhiming evidence to prove the United States is far from being a leader in providing good medical care.

Accordinging to the World Health Organization the United States ranks a meserable 37th in the rank of the health systems of 191 nations. France and Italy were in the top two spots.The Commonwealth Fund ranked the United States last when comparedto other advanced nations through surveys of patients and doctors and analysis of other data.Almost in every survey done the United States fall's last or low in medical care.

In every major industrialized nations for the acception of the United States has universal health coverage, and most have comprehensive benefit packages with no cost-sharing by the patients. While in the so called becon of hope ,The United States, has some 45 million people without health insurance and many more with less the stasfying coverage.
