Wizualizacja 2020 Why America's Healthcare Sucks You know it is true. According to the CDC, over 40 million Americans did not have health insurance during 2009. Obviously something has to change, but socialized medicine is not the answer. It is just one possible solution. Now that I have put myself in a political grey area, I will continue on with this topic. Although smoking, drinking and the elderly are lower per capita in America than most European countries, it doesn’t mean we don’t have problems. I’m lucky to have some very affordable healthcare offered by my university. Prevention and price transparency could both be improved in the US.
