Your uncle may have to pay a higher price for the drug treatment, but many would say (I for one, don't agree always) that he is getting better quality health care in the U.S. though for the money.

There are always exceptions, as I have found even the most exceptional health care institutions in the U.S. have their flaws and idiots that don't need to be there.

As for the cost of drugs in the U.S., it is out of control. Big corporations need a return on their investment when it comes to the money invested in research, but it does seem like it is going overboard when my medication costs twice as much as my income is.

Maybe Dave Chappelle doesn't seem so funny now to some when he mimicked a politician running for office with a solution to the health care problem: The fake Canadian ID card.

Just remember this mister picard120: It all boils down to one word in the health care industry in the US these days: GREED. As long as man's health is treated like a commodity (notice I didn't say "any other commodity") in the U.S., that's the way it will stay.

I'm not bashing people in the health care industry. There are people who dedicate their lives to do good in health care and don't care so much about the money, but they are in the minority. I'm talking about where MOST of the MONEY is concerned here. If I didn't add that statement, I would have some nice Missionary Doctor, Paramedic, EMT, or ER worker or somebody similar whining on here taking my statement personally. They still may whine anyway. I admire what they do and don't mean to offend them.
