    The United States needs to send Obama and those 535 persons ( who are working directly or indirectly for the bad  part of the one percent), who  has control of our medical technology for profit.  Yes, we are among the highest in technology.

    We need to send the 535 persons to the top ten medical country’s to restore America as in the   50’s and below.  We are 38 down among 45 nations against long memory and life  for profit.  The United States have very different health care systems. Health care is provided for all in Japan and has been since 1961. All citizens are required to get health insurance. The Japanese health care system has been praised for its accessibility. It has also given the doctors more control over how they perform medical procedures. As a result, the overall health of individuals has improved over the last 50 years.
    The cost of health care is very drastic when comparing per capita for medical expenses. Japan's is roughly 2,326 American dollars. The United States per capita for medical expenses is 6400 American dollars.  A per capita medical expense does an excellent job of showing how a country with similar economies and governments has different costs for health care.

    This, however, is not the case in the United States. The United States is currently suffering from a health care crisis. Over 47 million Americans are without health insurance. 9 million of them are children. On top of that, Americans have to pay out of pocket costs at a higher rate. The Price of health insurance is also rising in the United States. Some employers are putting more of the cost on the employees because of this. The American public is being harmed by the health care industry. Some people have to decide whether or not to put food on the table or go to the doctor. Children across this country don't get the proper care they need because their parents can't afford it. This is not right. When considering the prosperity of the United States, there should not be a single child without health insurance.

    America has more medical errors when compared to other nations like Great Britain and Australia. The United States should defiantly look at what other democratic nations have done with the public health care systems though.
