The only fair comparison is with other OECD countries. Unless you consider the US a third world country...

  Are you suggesting the other OECD countries don't also have an absurd wealth distribution that absolutely has a massive impact on the health of the citizens?

    The topic you are answering to is about health care bills. It is only reasonable that people answer on topic (abusive medical billing in the US) You are going off topic (wealth distribution) to try and prove a point. This is called whataboutism (when one topic is discussed and someone says 'well what about this other topic') - it's generally frowned upon as it degrades communication for those who like to find the truth and further understanding. Whataboutism is generally classified as a sophist technique (persuasion) vs what most rational people I know value: dialectics (inquiry and understanding)

      No, I am responding to this statement and staying entirely on topic: "No other country would put up with such blatant disregard for people's health in favor of greed." You are trying to limit the scope of "greed" to something that only applies to the US, when in reality it applies to pretty much every country in the world.
