In the last 5 years, there has been 112.5 9/11s in America. Why?
Nearly 45,000 people die in the United States each year -- one every 12 minutes -- in large part because they lack health insurance and can not get good care, Harvard Medical School researchers found in an analysis.
"We're losing more Americans every day because of inaction ... than drunk driving and homicide combined," Dr. David Himmelstein, a co-author of the study and an associate professor of medicine at Harvard, said in an interview with Reuters.
Overall, researchers said American adults age 64 and younger who lack health insurance have a 40 percent higher risk of death than those who have coverage.
Sure, it's an old article, but the point stands. What's your views on the healthcare debacle in America? Why do you think America spends far more GDP on healthcare than places like the UK (with the NHS), but achieves worse results?

America has this asinine policy of throwing money at the problem in the hopes of actually achieving improvement; despite the fact that history and logic tells us that quality of spending is more important than quantity of spending. This applies to more than just NHS: education, military, and entitlements all suffer from the same idiotic policies.
