I don't get the point of this comment, cause our healthcare system requires immediate medical attention for those in immediate danger. So are you saying our doctors are inferior to the doctors in Europe?
What do you feel is the main reason that allegedly 70% more woman in America are dying in childbirth than in Europe?

Our healthcare failures can be summed up in two distinct categories: Accesibilty and affordability. We can argue the merits, or lack thereof, of whether the government should get involved in private industry until we're blue in the face. But to the previous gentleman's point, the reason 70% more women in America are dying in childbirth is because either than can't afford proper healthcare (in the preventative stage) or it's just not accesible.

Yes, it's that simple and ,yes, the government should step in and do something about it.
