How bad do you think it is in the US? Are there no facilities for health care? No docs, no clinics, no hospitals, no surgery, no care? Do you think the average American has no health care?

What a crock! No preventive health care? Where did you get that idea?
Most Americans have insurance. Much of it is private insurance provided by the companies people work for. Many more people are covered under Medicaid and Medicare--government health care from the State and Federal government. Some people don't have health care, that is true. Those people have fallen through the cracks because they are not poor enough for governement health care, or they simply do not work for a company that provides health care for the worker and the family.
