In Case you missed the video: U.S. is ranked #37 in health care in the world
This video needs to go viral if it hasn't already. Some really great points.

Among people living in the 30 OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) nations, Americans rate their personal health around the median for the group despite having one of the highest GDPs per capita.

Only 56% of Americans say they have confidence in the U.S. health care system according to a recent Gallup poll. The United States has the highest per-capita total health expenditures of any of the 30 countries yet Americans report only average levels of health. Except for the United States, the more money spent on health care in a nation translates to better health for the respondents.

The World Health Organization ranks the United States at 37th in the world.

5. Cheer with me, Republicans:
WE'RE NUMBER 37!

What a great country we live in. Thanks for that, Republican obstructionists who only want health care for Dick Cheney!

7. Truly unfortunate
And, with Obama eschewing the public option, not very likely to substantially improve.

8. Is That A YouTube Link?? I Tried To Copy It, But It Didn't Work For Some
reason! Paul Hipp was on Dylan Ratigan's show today and had a great interview! Need to get a link at GDP, if someone can!

Hipp is doing a very good thing here... need to post elsewhere too! Can anyone do it??
