And Americans pay about a third *more* for their health care for a similar
or worse level of service, because the private health companies take
*profit*. Not that profit is a bad thing, but it isn't necessarily going to
be offset by greater efficiency. The American health care system is bogged
down with insurance bureaucracy, and ours is bogged down by managerial and
governmental bureaucracy and arse-licking target-meeting.
