I doubt ObamaCare will fix our huge problems because the bill was written by lobbyists from the healthcare industry. Just looking for LiveLeak ideas for fixing the problem.The cost of healthcare in the United States is 62 percent higher than that in Switzerland, which has a similar per capita income and also relies substantially on private health insurance. The growth in U.S. life expectancy over the past half century is also below average, gaining only 8.3 years since 1960 compared with an 11.2-year OECD average.

Americans… make fewer doctor visits, go to the hospital less often and stay for shorter lengths of time than about three-quarters of the other OECD countries. But the United States is at the front of the pack when it comes to costly medical procedures including knee replacements, MRI and CT scans and tonsillectomies. Pharmaceuticals also cost about 60 per cent more than in a range of European countries. The US also leads the world in people losing their homes/property to pay medical bills or to medical bankruptcy.
