We spend on healthcare about twice as other developed countries without much to show for it. We could save one trillion dollars a year if we brought down our spending to the French level, the country with the best healthcare system in the world according to the World Health Organization. So I am a bit sad that the current round of health care reform may fail or accomplish very little.
Silver lining: The system we have in place subsidizes handsomely old folks like me (I am 65) who have good health insurance. So I will be able to hang on to these generous subsidies.
