*In Singapore, hospitals publish the cost of every treatment
*In Germany, people suffering from fatigue or back pain can get a three-week stay at a "wellness" retreat in the mountains – all paid for by health insurance.
*In Taiwan, people who go to the hospital swipe a card that gives doctors their basic medical information
*Germany's had a national healthcare system since 1883
*National health services save a heck of a lot of money and are much cheaper, like in Spain and Britain,"?????
*UK, Germany, France, New Zealand use sophisticated information systems?
While 99 percent of doctors in the Netherlands and 97 percent of doctors in New Zealand and Norway used electronic medical records (EMRs), only 46 percent of U.S. doctors reported EMR use.
*Americans take 10 percent fewer drugs than citizens in other countries — but pay 118 percent more per pill that they do take
*In France, the sicker you are, the more coverage you get. For people with one of 30 long-term and expensive illnesses — such as diabetes, mental illness and cancer — the government picks up 100 percent of their health care costs, including surgeries, therapies and drugs
*In 2005, U.S. spending came to $6,400 per person. In France, it was $3,300.

GOOD and BAD
What’s WRONG with American health care:
•Too many Americans are uninsured
•Too much of our health care dollar is spent elsewhere, not on health care
•Congress is not paying fairly for Medicare and Medicaid
•Too much insurance profit, hassle and abuse
•Lawsuit abuse drives up health care costs
What’s GOOD with American health care:
•Doctors work for you, the patient
•You, the patient, have a choice of doctors and hospitals
•Highest quality in the world
•Innovation and cures save and extend lives
•It’s not a government run system where you wait and wait

who wants to know your friends and states of mind?
mobile phone records accurately forecast real-world friends. It also found that people’s recollections of how they use their phones differs significantly from reality
the study concluded that 95 percent of friendships between participants could be accurately deduced from the data.
"It's invisible to the user but logs everything: communication, users' locations, people's proximity by doing continuous Bluetooth scans."
"We can give them some real insight with the idea of helping them build a better city that reflects people's actual behaviour."

Tradition of America is true?????
If you fix the immigration then indirectly you are fixing Healthcare because, number of illegal immigrants using services and who have no means to pay that leads economic growth and financial flow sluggish. We are spending more on health care than any other nation but no quality and cost of healthcare for all not affordable.
65: Percentage of voters who believe that every American should have access to quality Healthcare
80: Percentage who oppose providing healthcare for illegal immigrants
Just in Texas, estimates illegal immigrants cost hospitals more than $1.3 billion a year.
No one can fix the economy without fixing immigration and healthcare together.
If tradition of America is true, then all immigrants can be justifying by the law.

chill out christians! Pres. Obama's Notre Dame speach
Full text of Pres Obama's speech at Notre Dame commencement.
So let's work together to reduce the number of women seeking abortions by reducing unintended pregnancies, and making adoption more available, and providing care and support for women who do carry their child to term. Let's honor the conscience of those who disagree with abortion, and draft a sensible conscience clause, and make sure that all of our health care policies are grounded in clear ethics and sound science, as well as respect for the equality of women."
here is the full text.

France leads the world in health care
Should Americans have access to health care like many other countries?
No? yes? Selfish Americans cant or have no right.
You know why?
Our health care system is still operating in the dark ages of paper records and handwritten scrawls
Excessive meritless lawsuits against neurosurgeons and ER physicians threaten access to emergency care:
As a result, some trauma centers must transfer Complex cases, are “downgraded” in the care they can pro-Vide, or are forced to close (June 14, 2004; American College of Emergency Physicians,)
One in seven obstetricians no longer delivers babies: because of fear of being sued, is driving America’s ob-gyns to stop delivering babies (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Medical Liability Survey, July 19, 2004).
Meritless lawsuits cost everyone 125,000 lawsuits currently in the system: On any given day, this is a conservative estimate of the number of active
Lawsuits against physicians—a number almost twice as large as the number of medical students (AMA Analysis, Journal of the American Medical Association Medical Education edi-tion, 2005).
$70–$126 billion per year could be saved on defensive Medicine: This is an estimate of the savings that would
result from enacting reasonable medical liability reforms (“Addressing the New Health Care Crisis,” U.S).
“After 8 years we still talk about 9/11 and seeing two towers collapse and 3,000 productive lives lost, but two months after that, 3,000 more productive lives were lost because they didn’t have health insurance, still our administration and Congress does nothing about it.”
President Obama once said :
I think it should be a right for every American. … for my mother to die of cancer at the age of 53 and have to spend the last months of her life in the hospital room arguing with insurance companies because they’re saying that this may be a pre-existing condition and they don’t have to pay her treatment, there’s something fundamentally wrong about that.
The U.S. model combines private health insurance and publicly-funded programs and spends more on health care than any other nation worldwide. It ranks low in the overall quality of care, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Frances’ health system which relies on compulsory national insurance was ranked best in the world in 2000 by WHO. Britain relies on the world’s largest publicly funded system, was in 18thplace. The world leader America is 37th place.
