After a study of 191 nations, the World Health Organization, ranked France and Italy as the top two medical care providers; inspite of being the most expensive, the USA ranked # 37.
When compared to Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zeland & UK, the USA comes last.
I learned about rescission [the act of rescinding] in the CNN lead story yesterday. Insurance company's staff seek reasons to rescind approval after expensive treatment ends. The woman who spoke to Congress explained that problem after a double masectomy, radiation and chemo left her at her weakest. When most in need of insurance, private insurance pays staff a bonus to find a reason to withdraw coverage.
