Interesting quote from Chomsky:
[ QUOTE ]
Take, say, healthcare, one of the worst domestic problem -- most serious domestic problems; for most people, a major problem. I mean, it's the most inefficient healthcare system in the world, double the per capita cost of other comparable countries, some of the worst health outcomes, mainly because it is privatized. The public is strongly against it. For a long period the public has been in favor of some kind of national healthcare system.

You can't just throw that quote out there without explaining what is included in the "cost" analysis of the system and what these "worst health outcomes" mean.

If lawsuit settlements for instance were included in our healthcare costs, then I think it would be impossible to not be top on the list.

Curing our infatuation with litigation in the United States would go a long way to better lives for a lot of people.
