Consuming Health Care

It may be that I am the only one remotely interested in the health care/ health insurance/ medical ethics/ American consumerism racket that I have been posting on periodically, but I keep seeing it. In an excellent little blog by Brian Volk he explores a bit about health care in other countries and his changing understanding of North American care. One of the pieces of his blog that is so helpful is that unlike Michael Moore's new movie (which I am very excited to see still) Volk does not start from the standard, American myopia. Volk does not assume that Americans ought to have the best care system in the world, or that the best health care system in the world would continue to strive for the best consumerist options that make people look the best and generate the most cash. Still praying.
