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.

Other than the cost of my health insurance, I get great medical care. A couple of years ago, my liver enzymes shot through the roof. My doctor had me scheduled for a CAT scan the next day. Think that happens in places where they have socialized medicine?
