Well, now there's a classic example of survivorship bias. Care in the US is good when you can get it, but on average? On average care is quite bad. When you bring in the millions of people with no health insurance into the averages then the picture looks quite a lot less rosy. Things are so bad that there is a multi-decade differential in life expectancy between the top 20% and the bottom 20%. That is absolutely unconscionable.
