The US doesn't have a healthcare problem. In fact the healthcare is quite good anytime I have needed it, even as a foreigner visiting the US. However, what the US does have is a problem with lobbyists (Big Pharma, for example), tort law (in serious need of reform), and the insurance companies with their hands in the pie.
