The Healthcare Sytem in the USA and Spain

In case you wanna go through all the info on US and Spanish Healthcare systems our US visitors showed us last Thursday, please click on the slide shows below. Really intriguing data indeed!
           On US Healthcare                                                  On Spanish Healthcare

As a follow up to this interesting talk, you might wanna watch Sicko, the documentary film by Michael Moore on the US Healthcare system. Read the synopsis below:
This documentary looks at health care in the United States as provided by profit-oriented health maintenance organizations (HMOs) compared to free, universal care in Canada, the U.K., and France. Moore constrasts U.S. media reports on Canadian care with the experiences of Canadians in hospitals and clinics there. He interviews patients and doctors in the U.K. about cost, quality, and salaries. He examines why Nixon promoted HMOs in 1971, and why the Clintons reform effort failed in 1990s. He talks to U.S. ex-pats in Paris about French services, and he takes three 9/11 clean-up volunteers, who developed respiratory problems, to Cuba for care.
