Used to have a good business environment? The US has one of the easiest barriers of entry for starting your own business. You hardly pay any business taxes, you have little fees involved, and receiving investment can be fairly easy as well. There are little regulations on businesses as well. A couple kids can create a video site and sell it to Google for billions of dollars in a couple years. That stuff is unheard of in other countries that have high barriers of entry and strict government regulations.

What countries have better business environments than the US?

Poor education system - You mean the education system that has more international people coming to this country to learn than any other country in the world. The one that has the top professors, top students, and top minds in the world? While this country has problems with parts of its educational system, it still produces great results.

Ripoff Health System - Yes the health system has a lot of problems. But we also have the best doctors in the world. When world leaders get sick, they fly to the US for treatment. More medical breakthroughs happen in the US than any other country in the world.

What is your solution to the health care system that would allow us to maintain our growth in the field?

You can't be serious? If your idea of "supreme" environment is employees working for 20 cents a day. Having your business abide by strict laws and regulations. Heck, you'd be thrown in jail for your business over there.
