Key is - rest of the world enjoys, not US. There is no denying that US has best medical care for those with unlimited budget, sadly too many people priced out of the market.

I previously posted these statistics, but any way you look at overall US population - life expectancy, child mortality, number of readmissions, % population dying from preventable diseases... they _ALL_ trail behind.
