"private medicine that makes America's health care the best in the world" [View All]

[shockingelk]

If America has the best health care in the world ... 




Part of President Bush's State of the Union Address was "By keeping costs under control, expanding access, and helping more Americans afford coverage, we will preserve the system of private medicine that makes America's health care the best in the world."

If America already has the "best" health care in the world, how can it be that the CIA Factbook list the following 28 nations as having both a lower infant mortality rate and longer life expectancy at birth?

Andorra
Macau
San Marino
Japan
Singapore
Australia
Switzerland
Sweden
Hong Kong
Canada
Iceland
Italy
Monaco
Liechtenstein
Spain
France
Norway
Greece
Aruba
Netherlands
Malta
New Zealand
Belgium
Austria
United Kingdom
Germany
Finland
Luxembourg

Continuing ... Bush said "A government-run health care system is the wrong prescription." Is there any country on that list that doesn't have socialized medicine?
