"Thus, even as the United States spends more per capita on health care than any major country, the overall system is not well-loved, placing the U.S. near the bottom of countries that have confidence in their medical safety net, according to Gallup polling.

Will that dissatisfaction trump warnings about the perils of socialized medicine, waiting lists and the crush on business? Big money is counting that it won’t."
