The American health care is the best in the world. Indian health care is pretty good in comparison to other third world nations but its quality is poor and there is no accountability there.

Incompetant doctors get away with murder. Proper procedure is often ignored by the undertrained. Just ask my mother who had two healthy babies die as a result of doctor incompetence. The Indian health care system is not good.

There are probably several reasons why our system is more expensive. One might be the health care technology is far better than what you will find there. Another is that the doctors are more highly trained. Yet another is that lawsuits over there are rare.


There are plus points to having a socialized health care system. But we shouldn't be willing to trade in quality for price. My two dead brothers could attest to that.
