And yet people from around the world fly here every day to have critical surgeries performed by the world's top doctors in state of the art facilities.

News Flash: The U.S. isn't a welfare state. To benefit from everything this country has to offer, you need to pay for it. Yes, it would be better if that didn't apply to healthcare, but there needs to be some method of exclusion when demand is high and supply is low. Would you rather wait 2 months just to see a specialist and another 2 months for treatment like patients in nationalized healthcare systems frequently do? (I'm looking at you, Canada and Europe)
