During the election I was amazed at the number of Americans who kept arguing that the health care system is doing great and doesn't need to be reformed.But in another report out this week there is more shocking news for McCain voters to ignore.
The report found that Emergency Room conditions were a 'ticking time bomb.' Standards are so low that 90% of states have a mediocre or failing grades. Not a single state got an A, A- or even B+.
The rating for Americans' accessibility to emergency health care was overall a D-.
On the same day the Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation released a separate report concluding that America was unprepared for a natural disaster, biological attack or pandemic.
I wonder how many reports like this will be ignored by right wing idiots before they will start to question why the richest nation on the planet continues to operate such a sub-standard health care system?
