Is the US finally on the road to having a civilised health system?

[Bazile]

If you hold the same opinions as Fox News - then no .

the Americans think taking responsibility for your own health is civilised.

[MoonRocker]

I'm not normally a fan of Michael Moore but his film "Sicko" explains the horrors of the US system very well.

If the US spent a fraction of what it spends on illegal wars it would have the most healthy nation in the world.

[MoonRocker]

romneycare is pretty much the same as obamacare so it's almost inevitable. Both will just make more $$$$ for the meds and insurance companies.
But lets face it they've already got far better survival rates for cancer and some other illnesses than our NHS can match
if only they realised there are other countries in the world who are doing it far better, like most of western europe or better still Singapore. Why not copy them?
Oh yes, doesn't make more money for campaign donors
