Healthcare Cost revisited
Why does the USA have, by far, the highest cost of healthcare in the world and only ranks 15th in terms of quality of care. If you want to know please refer to the numerous prior posts on this subject. Its interesting, that while this has a tremendous impact on the overall cost of living almost all politicians avoid the topic like the plague. I wonder if it has anything to do with campaign financing?
