here is an interesting way to compare Health care systems of 8 countries with similar economies and governments (USA, Japan, France, germany, Great Britain, Switzerland, Netherlands) - http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...ryId=110997469

...seems USA spends more per person but with fewer people covered by the health care umbrella.

So, good if you are one of the covered group, but really tough if you are not.
(By FL figures, that is 3 out of 20 - 15%), and if you are hispanic, 6 out of 20 are not covered, and if black, 4 in every 20 are not covered).
