Now that the US life span is 42nd in the world do you think Congress will focus on the health care issues more
From the Aug 11th Associated Press release
Americans are living longer than ever, but not as long as people in 41 other countries.
For decades, the United States has been slipping in international rankings of life expectancy, as other countries improve health care, nutrition and lifestyles.
Countries that surpass the U.S. include Japan and most of Europe, as well as Jordan, Guam and the Cayman Islands.
"Something's wrong here when one of the richest countries in the world, the one that spends the most on health care, is not able to keep up with other countries," said Dr. Christopher Murray, head of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.
As long as the AMA has a strong lobby, don't look for too many changes by Congress. Socialized medicine has its pros and cons. But, drug companies and others are making too much money and have too much influence to permit sweeping changes.
