What it's all about: better health not consumer choice













There is little more dramatic than comparing the welfare of those who live in social democracies with those like us who live under the yoke of those who believe that government is best which governs least. 


It's not choice we are seeking to advance - it's health care.


The graph shows unmet care defined as “Did not get medical care, missed medical test, treatment or follow-up, did not fill prescription or missed doses.” It’s striking that not only does the US do much worse with regard to poor people, we do much worse than many countries with regard to richer than average people.
