Hospitals / Doctors now refusing to take Medicare

[fastd]

Let's agree, at least, what this issue is:You cited the WHO report to indicate that the quality of health care performance is 15th out of 25 civilized countries. I said the the report was a sham. You included an unsubstantiated fact that Mexico's doctor induced deaths are about the same or a little better than in the US - that may be, I haven't seen any evidence one way or the other (don't get excited but I would be interested to see your source - is that OK?).

In your response, you set the WHO story aside and go on to cite other sources, never returning to the WHO story. You could possibly be right about everything here, but you never do the work to support your argument. You are too busy trying to denigrate the entire health care system in the US; there are good and bad things about it.

My point is that the WHO ranking is misleading because it relies on highly subjective factors including "fairness" that make its use to prove that the US Health Care QUALITY is relatively poor. US Health Care DELIVERY maybe very poor, in fact, I think most everyone agrees that it needs to be fixed.

It was a simple comment, but rather than slow down and address a simple point, you choose to rabidly respond to a point not even made, disregard your original comment and switch to other lines of attack. Calm down and focus.
