Scathing indictment of U.S. healthcare from the Commonwealth Fund Hotlist
by nyceve
As you read this, keep in mind the United States is the richest country on the planet.

Yesterday the Commonwealth Fund issued a devastating report on the state of healthcare in the United States.

The take-home message: Health care in the United States is not a basic right. The lack of affordable health care is impacting all but the richest Americans.

About half of adults in middle-income families reported serious problems in paying for their health care while even those in more affluent circumstances said they had troubles with medical bills.
