America has the best health care in the world.

If you're rich. I never seem to hear them say those last three words, do they mumble?

1. Mentioning Class: it's the last taboo

You'll see CNN's own Sanjay Gupta touting the stress relieving health benefits of bestiality and Nancy Grace hosting a roundtable on the positive side of incest before you hear cable news pundin'ts admitting that health care and health insurance sucks for the working class of America and the shiny medical gizmos are for the use of the rich.

2. Someone here posted this the other day...

It sort of puts things in perspective a bit IMO.

The rich can afford healthcare that many of us can only dream of. I consider myself lucky to have Medicare even though the reason I have it is a disability. It's still not any where near as good as the rich can afford. One of the things I was hoping for was a universal health care that included dental. Dental is extremely important to good health and should be covered as well as optical IMO.

3. Don't forget pre-exisiting conditions. If you've never had a serious illness, health care is great.

Unfortunately, if you've ever been diagnosed with a disease, prepare to be dropped by private insurance, like many millions in America have had happen to them.

Rich people don't need private insurance. They can afford to sock away $500,000 in offshore accounts to pay for medical procedures.
