Jon Stewart showed a great clip of Glenn Beck in June of 09 stating that the US' healthcare is the best on earth and then clips from early 2008 when he received treatment and he saying how poor the quality was despite the fact he went to an elite, expensive clinic. To each his own, I suppose.

Could you please explain to me why its perfectly reasonable to trust any kind of entity that has shown numerous times in the past 100 years that it is incapable of running a program of this magnitude efficiently?
If any company would run their 'business' like the government runs its programs, they would either go under, or drag the rest of the country under with them.
People don't trust the government because the government is a bloated pig of an organization that doesn't know how to do anything correct. And the US Government is the worst of them all.
The only reason we have any kind of decent health care in Canada is because its handled by the individual provinces. So, instead of administering health care to 300 million people, the province of Alberta only has to look after 3-4 million people. And they STILL can't do it right, despite spending a lot of frickin' money.
I don't trust businesses that receive poor ratings from literally everyone that works with them. And that is exactly what the US government is. A bloated business that can't do anything right anymore.
Cash 4 Clunkers, Social Security, Medicare, MediAid, Food Stamps, etc, etc....all programs that the government has been incapable of running properly.
And ALL programs that private businesses and charity organizations have been able to run efficiently for years.
What needs to be fixed in the way the health care system is RUN.
Here is a good start.
