I think that was one of the criteria but it wasn't the only one. When it came to fairness the USA was ranked joint 54th with Fiji (The UK was in joint 8th place!).

In case you want to look the ranking was on page 197 of this WHO report.

Now, at the risk of this turning into a complete breakdown of civility. I now consider this thread to have run its course.

How can you even live with yourself?

People are not dying because of high prices, they die because of disease. Drugs ARE NOT A RIGHT.


People ARE dieing indirectly from high prices. Because of the inflated prices, they can't get access to the drugs they need to get better. So Pfizer DOES kill people via proxy.

Every other industrialized country in the WORLD has a universal healthcare system, so why doesn't the US? Is the US really so backwards?

Enjoy your social inequality and income divide, US is running to its economical collapse and you refuse to recognize it...


The change from a market economy to a corporativist one is subtle but devastating, nonetheless you're going there.



Couldn't have said it better myself.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Kosh, don't you know poor people don't count?  It's not like they can make major campaign contributions or pay for junkets... in fact, you can't even use them as slaves any more thanks to those pesky laws.
