Haven't we had enough of American non-healthcare?

I was going to begin this post by saying something like, "I hate to pile on", but in reality I do not and so I won't. American healthcare sucks. It is NOT the best in the world. How can I say this?
Here's just 2 examples from this week:

A friend whose parents are uninsured called me to ask for prayer in part because his father who experienced multiple-organ failure could not be admitted to a transplant hospital until a deposit of $225,000 was made. No this isn't a typographical error - St. Luke's Hospital in Houston wanted $250,000 to admit my friend's father. He is currently at the county hospital (Ben Taub) and may die there because America which spends more than $10 billion per month building our empire in Iraq won't help a dying man without making huge profits.

Example number 2 is a woman who came to my house incredibly thankful that we had a used nebulizer for her daughter. We inherited it when a friend died earlier this year. She was thankful because although she has health insurance, it won't pay for things that are "non-essential" like nebulizers.

As an American, I am not accustomed to blindly accepting stupidity when I see it. Years ago, when stupidity reigned in the telecom industry, some other chaps and I saw it and did something about it and I can proudly say I was part of a revolution which brought about low calling rates and ubiquitous service around the world. I am itching to try the same thing with healthcare.
