Whitehawk, the cost of litigation in the us is about 0.5% of total health care spending. There are more claims than in other countries, mind you, 0.18/1000 in the US VS. 0.12 in the UK but the average payout in the US is very low, even lower than in Canada. The average payout in the US is $265 000 VS. $411 000 in the UK.
The biggest difference between the US system and national systems that I have found is administration costs; administration costs are really out of control in the US.

The latest data I could find from 2007 shows that in that year 2,623 people in Australia died from influenza and pneumonia out of 10,403 cases. The ooga-booga scare article above reports that a grand total of 24 people have dies from 11,194 confirmed cases of swine flu-related illnesses which typically includes pneumonia.

Advertising works, if a baseball player is on TV selling beer, beer sales go up, if the media portrays woman as objects, woman get treated like objects.

He probably didn't see her as a person, just an object and she is guilty of helping him have that perception. I believe he is wrong in his perception, but the entertainment industry in which she freely works is guilty of warping his mind.

Well even a broken clock is right twice a day. She is the wrong person to deliver the message as she has no credit. I would have liked to have seen somebody more credible to have written the Washington Post piece and by bringing up "god" she automatically loses a lot of people.

Not all cultures are equal in time or place. "Western" culture is better today than it was 50 years ago when racism was rampant or 60 years ago when anti-semitism led to the Holocaust in Europe. "Western" culture is better than Aztec culture and their human sacrifices. "Western" culture's very new acceptance of homosexuals is better than sending gays to the gas chamber. Europe does not need to import Aztec sacrifices, anti-semitism, racism or sexism. Sorry but the practice of female circumcision is not welcome in the West and is inferior to "Western" thought and ideals.
Immigrants have a lot to offer to any country as long as backward inferior concepts are left at home.

The American government is not much loved around the world but American people are. Prolly the best thing is for the US government to keep quit but for American people to give as much support as possible.

The "bad" banks should have been left to fail.
I don't know how giving the privately owned Fed more power and reducing the number of regulators is supposed to "tighten oversight."

Molenir, I would agree and would like to suggest something like no-fault malpractice insurance with set rates but that would be a tough sell because it would involve the government getting involved and that solution always gets people's backs up.
The biggest benefit of a no-fault capped malpractice system is that it would reduce the number of medical mistakes. With "out of control" lawsuits hospitals and medical staff will do anything to avoid getting sued and that includes never admitting to a mistake. A very large number of hospital mistakes can be eliminated by improved systems and procedures. If hospitals don't admit a mistake it is hard to correct the practices.
