I’d like to urge caution about accepting at face value the studies that claim that the US health system ranks 37th in the world.

There are some serious methodological problems, as discussed here:

For a more detailed discussion of problems with “universal health care” as well as some viable free market alternatives, see:

Now.. I’m a tad bit dissapointed you NEVER gave mention to the effect of the nursing shortage on healthcare.

Beautifully written. I love works that are written in this way to get a point across. I was extremely drawn in and feel very informed about the topic. After reading Swift’s A Modest Proposal, I began trying to write some too. I want to start a blog and would be honored if you would read what I have and let me know what you think. http://mymodestproposal.blogspot.com

Thanks again for the great content. I plan on joining your readers list!
