The US pays a higher portion of it's GDP for health care than most other industrialized nations, for which it receives care that is no better, and sometimes worse. That doesn't sound like a bargain. State run medicine works in Germany, France, Norway, the list goes on. If you have an open mind (to the problems & benefits of state run systems) read the economist survey

So are you going to share your username and password so we can read it?
Anyway, I live in Canada -- the land of health care rationing -- where you can wait for months and years for treatment. So you need an MRI? Expect to wait 7-9 months. Your other option is to drive to the USofA, pay for the MRI yourself, and have the results sent to your doctor. It is illegal for a Canadian resident to pay for an MRI (or any covered procedure) in Canada.
Is that what you mean by better health care?
If you have a problem & think that someone else is going to solve it for you then you have two problems.
