Don't like the other graph? Think there's no correlation? Fine. Try this one.

Plain as day.
The one other country that seems to be a major outlier on the bad side is South Africa, the only other developed country with largely private care. The notable outlier on the good side is Cuba, the most socialized system around. I'm not going to make the crude argument that it's as easy as free market bad, socialism good, but the graph isn't lying to you.
How could a society possibly accomplish such a thing? Hm.

Quote:If we focus on minimizing the need for health care, the supply of care will increase and the overall costs will drop.Hey, here's an idea. Maybe if you let people see the doctor on a regular basis, for free, then maybe they might get good medical advice, helpful hints on improving their health, and early diagnosis of disease while it's still treatable or controllable!
