I could give you the run down

on how much we spend on health care per capita vs. every other developed country. I could give you child mortality rates and life expectancy rates. I've worked in the insurance field managing benefits packages and in medical billing, so I can give you the ins and outs and nitty gritty on the horrible ways our system works.

But I think I'd rather you had a view of a system that works really well.

They spend less per person than we do and they cover everyone. And their system has something that a free market system can never include- common decency.
