No, this is just a problem with affluence. People fail to appreciate the staggering advances we’ve had in the past 200 years ... America has the most advanced medical technology in the world or for that matter, in human history. Granted, there are incidents of medical mishaps, but that’s the the tendency of people to focus on bad forgetting the enormously positive stories that literally saved countless people. I am very aware that America’s system has problems, no doubt about it, but we could do worse to mimic other countries.

Again i have to disagree. It´s not true that “America has the most advanced medical technology in the world “ The truth is america has acess to the “most advanced medical technology in the world” like every other industrialized western country if you are able to pay for it.
The only problem is that while “we all” have this technology it´s still limited because right now no one
has found a perfekt working system for every one.
The different systems have both winners and losers.
