Health Care Follow-Up
I noted in a post below that the U.S. has the most expensive, least efficient, and poorest outcome health insurance in the world. I dug up the source for these assertions:
Much has been written about how health care spending in countries with nationally-provided health insurance is lower than in the US, though their health outcomes are as good or better than in the US. Note as well that waiting times are not necessarily any higher in countries with single-payer health care.
Read those links and weep.

And most of those stats come from 2000 or 2001. I would imagine the discrepancies have only gotten worse.
