Gotta love that they can get this by paying a third what we pay for healthcare per person. This is what the cumulative effects of 50 years of market failure compounded by political corruption looks like.</p> yep. they had that in Singapore too when I was there.

When is the USA gonna catch up with the civilized world? I used to think we were on our way, but then it seems we decided (not me) to go backwards.

Dammit.
