I read Jerry's comment. When he said the United States was a Democracy that pretty much invalidated his entire "speech". Personally, being a man, I like the chances of prostrate cancer survival here (100% first 5 years) vs. Great Britain, 77%. And you can go down the line with every major disease, like breast cancer etc. If you love their system, and think your survival is better in these other countries -- move there. But spreading information like you have done here is ridiculous and makes you look like a buffoon. The congress can make changes - eliminate the restrictions for interstate purchasing of health insurance, California only has three or four authorized companies. Increase the use of Health Savings accounts. Makes people responsible -- what a concept. And get some TORT reform! Why is it that Pelosi can introduce a 2000 page (Incredible) bill and NOT have tort reform and an open and competitive policy so the existing insurance companies can compete for business -- just like the auto insurance does. There are over 2300 RESTRICTIONS on current companies regarding health insurance. In ALL cases, when government gets the hell out of the way things get cheaper and better. And that's proven.
