As a physician I have always been skeptical about "socialized medicine" of any kind. I assumed that it would lead to long waiting times, scarcity of resources, poor medication availability and lack of choice in health care providers. But I have been studying the health care plans of many developed nations around the world and have come to the conclusion that our current system is simply unsustainable. My reasons are as follows:
We spend more of our national gross domestic product on health care than any other nation in the world.
Our Government Spends Less Per Capita on Health care Than Any Other Nation
(In other words, we each pay more of the bill than citizens in other countries do)
We Have Poorer Health Care Outcomes Than 36 Other Countries
To be Continued....

I totally agree our current health care system is unsustainable and it continues to be so expensive that ordinary Americans are having to make difficult choices on health care vs living. Seniors cutting medications in half or cutting back altogether. In the 21st century we do need a single payer system. The old archaic dinosaur must be changed in order to help all Americans. Nice stats you posted... all the best!
