adequate health care
well, since you brought it up
the famous uva study cited by the asa finds that americans with NO INSURANCE actually fare better (lower costs, shorter stays, reduced mortalities) than their less fortunate neighbors whose primary pay status is medicaid, the ghetto of american health care
ASA: ASA 130th Annual Meeting Abstracts - Primary Payer Status Affects Mortality For Major Surgical Operations
that's, of course, AFTER controlling for age, gender, income, geographic region, operation, and 30 comorbid conditions, as most informed americans recalls
just the facts, folks
