A crazy system. America spends more money per person on its largely for-profit health care system than any other nation in the world although a 2009 census showed 50 million Americans were uninsured. The USA is the only wealthy, industrialized nation that does not ensure that all citizens have health care coverage. High cost of health care in the USA does not equal quality. Life expectancy in the America is 42nd in the world, below most other developed nations and even some developing nations, and infant mortality lags badly too. In 2007, 62% of Americans filing for bankruptcy cited high medical costs.
