It is the system every "Western" country CHOOSES over all other available systems. All the countries could adopt our system, but none do. Strange.

We are the only country in the "Western" nation without universal health insurance coverage.

I did watch it. I know we pay a ton of taxes. I just throught his arguement was weak.
