Comment: It's unlikely that the health care quagmire in the US can ever be fixed.  Obamacare was a shoddy compromise that provided a partial sop to the insurance companies and an unsustainable model for poorer Americans.

While it is well-nigh impossible to objectively rank health care -- even the World Health Organization gave it up as futile -- it is easy to see that the US spends more per capita than any nation in the world, and arguably provides worse service than almost any in the West.

This is largely due to a powerful medical lobby and routine gouging of both citizens and insurance companies.  Tylenol administered in hospital is as high as $15 per pill, and the cost of one stitch can exceed $500.

If the US wants to fix its health insurance problem, they should start by legislating cost caps for routine procedures.  Profiteering through human suffering is disgusting.
