Being an American if you’re not worried about the state of health here there are some statistics that can get your head reeling for sure! Despite being right up there economically America faces innumerable health risks and not for nothing. According to a study, United States is the only nation that’s gone through industrialization without paying much heed to its health insurance system. A UN Health Development report takes one further into the details. According to that, the uninsured have a real tough time dealing with health disorders simply because they’re uninsured. Hospitals and medical centers do not take it into their stride if they find uninsured persons seeking care and the latter end up with less than their fair share. Additionally, their chances of receiving quality outpatient care also go down a few notches.

Other studies reveal how Americans are more prone to diseases. Even a child born to this nation does not have as many chances of survival as a baby born in El Salvador has! Canada who is one of the closest neighbors records better health amongst commoners. At least that is what a report claims when it says Canadians, on an average, have a longevity of about three years more than Americans. And believe it or not Cuba also wins when it comes down to average longevity!

The final one should come as a surprise- more than 90% of Americans feel the health insurance system will either have to undergo dramatic change or it will have to be discarded completely for a set- up that’ll serve the people better!
