I got to have care provied by some of the best private orthopedic surgeons in Denver. It made all the difference that they were in private practice. Hm... I'm not sure about that, but then again, I've never broken a foot or leg in England or Denver, so what do I know ;)
Given the US govt.'s track record on every thing else these days, I don't think I want them in my health care. Good point. I could say the same for the Canadian government too - and for once, that's not my anti-Conservativism speaking, because they've only been in power for a few months and the Liberals were screwing with our money for over a decade.
Still, statistically speaking, when it comes to health, apparently incompetent/larcenous governments do better with our money than whoever manages things in the US. Which disturbs the hell out of me, for both sides of the border ;)
