     Bravo. Exactly right.   
      
     America has the most expensive   
   health care system in the world   
   solely because insurance companies   
   stand in between the patients and   
   doctors extracting huge profits   
   for themselves. No country has ever   
   ditched their public health system   
   in favor of the "pay up or die"   
   American system.
