Baloney. We have slipped to 47th in the world on infant mortality. 51st on life expectancy. How in the hell can you say we have the best system in the world? That is just factually wrong. 45% of the cost in the US pays for administration. This is where we are getting screwed. The CEO of Anthem received a bonus earlier this year of 53 million dollars. This is whats wrong with our system. 50 million not covered drives the cost for those who do have it through the damn roof. It needs to be fixed.
