You are quite correct that the US has a huge number of people in need of health care / insurance coverage. And that is precisely why Obama is making healthcare reform a top priority.
And let me ask you this -- when you are down with a seasonal flu or something, what would an American doctor tell you to do, and what would a Chinese doctor tell you to do? The American doctor will probably tell you to go home and get some rest, drink lots of fluids, keep yourself warm and the flu will ride itself out. In China, the doctor will probably give you 點滴 and prescribe you a whole whack of pills and ask you to pay big bucks for it.
