Life Expectancy Hits New High of Nearly 78... Yeah U.S. health care really sucks!

The problem with our system is not that it isn't of good quality. It's that it is becoming unaffordable. We have a crony capitalist system where health care provider's rig the rules in their own favor, preventing competition, and retaining 20% of the monies paid for premiums and payments and providing only the remaining 80% for actual health care services. It would be as if you had bought a $2 gallon of milk and had me pay the actual $2 and you then send me a check for $2.40. It's an awful system on an unsustainable cost trajectory.

So I don't get too excited when Obama says he wants to change it. I seriously doubt he will, because the awful health care providers paying for our milk and charging us an additional 20% are making millions, so they bought the presidency expecting him to retain the status quo. He will. Costs will continue to skyrocket. Health care will get less and less affordable. We'll continue to spend twice what other industrialized nations spend per person and we'll get nothing better in return for it.

so obtaining an avg. life span of 78 is not a positive feat. Especially when 1/3 of that time is normally sickly and "picked in pharma".

If that is true the globalists cant be to happy about it. no wonder they want to 'fix' the health care system.
