Healthcare food for thought:

46.3 million people did not have health insurance in 2008. (US Census Bureau)

62.1 percent of all US Bankruptcies in 2007 were related to medical expenses. (The American Journal of Medicine)

Out of the 193 member states of the World Health Organization, the United States ranked #1 in per capita health care expenditures - $6,719 (WHO)

The United States is one of the few developed nations in the world that does not guarantee health coverage.
