Americans spend more on health care because of degenerative diseases such as heart disease and cancer. A large part of this is due to the increasing obesity rates of Americans. Rich Americans also love plastic surgery.

Infant mortality was not as high as it is now under this same health care system 20 years ago. In fact, America had the lowest infant mortality rate of all the developed countries 20 years ago.

And I agree that Americans have this "it won't happen to me" outlook on life, but that is no one's fault but their own.

1) The government should not pay for universal health care.

2) When an individual has a child, that individual should be responsible enough to take care of that child under ALL circumstances.

3) It should not be America's duty to make up for poor decisions made by individuals.

4) Do away with welfare. It makes Americans more lazy. Socialism makes Americans more lazy (i.e. welfare).

5) Doctors earn the right to make what they make by not having as long of a life expectancy as they would if they weren't a doctor. They earn the right by trading their lives through their dedication and pledge of serving others.
