Considering our health care spend (15% of GDP) is dramatically higher than any other nation, I'd say that's pretty pathetic.

If what you are saying is true then that is a hard fact for proud Americans to swallow. I would wager that the diff. between the 44 nations is a very small percentage and I would also wager that the influx of "undocumented" immigrants is also a factor. Still, I would rather my children born here over any other place on earth
