You have to learn how to parse his words. It's the finest health care system if you have lots and lots of money. If you can afford the specialists, etc. Otherwise, not so much.

"30 million" uninsured?

"That is not the issue," Sen. Mitch McConnell said. "The question is how to go step by step to improve the American health care system. It is already the finest health care system in the world."

Finest?

Ha ha.

"The United States ranked last across a range of measures of health care in a comparison of 19 industrialised countries, despite spending more than twice as much per person on health as any other of the countries, says a report published last week [in 2008].

The report shows improvements in some areas since the previous rating two years ago but found that other countries had improved more quickly. It analysed 37 measures, including access to care, quality of care, and health outcomes."

As usual, the right wing position is based on theory and not inconvenient truths.
