I know you said you would not pick a private hospital over a public one, but if you had a choice between Los Angeles County and Stanford hospital, I am pretty sure you would pick Stanford. I have been to both of these a few times and there really is no comparison.
In response to Sidd, I had heard that health care was a problem but I thought the problem was uninsured middle class people. All the health care plans I had heard of used the private system as much as possible and required company's to provide health insurance to their employees. Even Hillary's health care plan would not solve the competitiveness problem because it mostly relies on companys providing health insurance. I had never heard the argument that in order to make the US more competitive the Government should provide for everyones health care. What I also don't understand, if this is such a problem, why the US Chamber of commerce does not lobby for a national health care system so their members don't have to provide health insurance.
