And while we're on the subject of reforming our health care in America .... what about the rest of the world? What are they doing?

It was interesting to pop into the above graphic posted by the Daily Kos. They/it posted a very interesting map showing which countries have universal (or nearly so) heath care. Not having it are most parts of the Middle East; most of Africa; the Philippines; some areas of South America and the United States. Other parts of the world either have universal health care or are well on the way toward implementing it--China is implementing it as I am posting this. And about all we can say for ourselves upon viewing this current map (2009) is that we are barely keeping up with most of Africa and most of the Middle East--except for Iraq and Afghanistan, of course, whose universal health care is funded by ... you guess who.

Interestingly, U.S. spells "us"!!!
