> reducing our total health

Because America has been the paragon of health over the past few decades...because America spends the most per capita on Health Care. What a super effective system. Obviously everything was working out so great before this JFK guy came.

America has excellent healthcare if you have money. We've lead more medical advances than any other country and our doctors have the longest and most extensive education and training requirements.

I work in healthcare - most problems we see in the hospital are related to chronic illness caused by poverty and the gutting of social services. Many other countries spend more on social services than healthcare, but in the US it's flipped.
