    US healthcare costs substantially higher than other developed nations, and our outcomes are not commensurateely higher; they lag behind many countries with much lower healthcare outlays. I would say consistently spending more to get less is a very good definition of “subpar”.

    “Free” healthcare to everyone who makes it to US soil is like the old joke: “we lose money on every sale, but don’t worry, we’ll make it up in volume.”

    The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.

    —Margaret Thatcher
