>It is amusing if it were not that sad. I've been working 15+ year on healthcare systems arround the globe. There is not a single healthcare system in the world that is as expensive, inefficient, on the average low quality and leave so many people out of accesible healthcare as in the US.

>Hmmmm. Just curious. If our health care is of such low quality, why are those silly sheiks from the Middle East coming to the Cleveland Clinic for their cardiac surgery?

I don't think anyone would dispute that we lead the world at the high end. The kind of treatment a sheik can afford, you might say. That is a complete different topic from health care for the rest of us.
