I worked for 15 years for a health insurance company. I’ve seen how & why US healthcare rates poorly. The ultimate goal of healthcare insurance companies is to take in premium and pay out as little as possible in claims. Health isn’t even a consideration. Profits are.

So France being first in healthcare isn't 1st in life expectancy and buys you 6 more years than the US. Numbers don't tell you cause and effect not the solution. I agree healthcare in the US is a major problem but playing the numbers game proves nothing. If you want to play the numbers game, then go to wonder.cdc.gov which you can look at all kinds of death numbers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
