Access to Care

In case anyone is still sitting on the fence about whether or not the House of Representatives should summon its backbone and adopt the Senate health care bill, Nicholas Kristof has this to say.
He argues good health outcomes (like longer life expectancy rates) are not a matter of getting the best or the most high tech health care. In most cases, most of the time, they are simply a matter of getting health care at all.

Sounds like health care in Romania. "Any health care at all" is paying your nurse in the hospital a bribe to change your sheets or change your bandage. If you want a "quality" appendectomy (one that doesn't require a 10" incision butcher job) just pay the doctor "a little extra" and he'll take care of you.
