"The United States spends more of its gross domestic product on medical care than any nation in the world, yet Americans do not live longer than Western Europeans or Japanese." That's sad you think that money in health care would equal better health and longer living but it turns out it hasn't worked for us. Take San Angelo for example "more than a quarter of San Angelo residents have no health insurance and little access to health care, while many more are substantially under insured. At town hearings a year ago, residents told of choosing between buying food or heart medicine, of doing without asthma medicine and of going to crowded hospital emergency rooms with toothaches because dentists wouldn't care for them." Like in my other blog these untreated problems can lead to death like Dem the young boy that died from an untreated tooth abscess. Little problems or untreated illess can lead to death or serious injuries.
