Katz: Allow me to clarify my remarks.
When I said 'producing results' I did not intend to disparage the work that IS being done by the legions of dedicated health care workers. For the most part, I've had very good experiences.
I should have explained that I find it frustrating that we pay so much more and do NOT have the kinds of results we SHOULD have when compared to the rest of the industrialized world.
As an example, we should NOT be tied for 55th, with *Cuba* in life expectancy when we're paying more than twice as much per capita as ANY other nation (source: CIA World Fact Book)
