The American health care system is totally broken and it is accentuated even more in Hawaii, probably worst case on the Big Island. The news has been full of how Americans pay twice as much for health care than countries that have socialized health care, and getting half as much actual care. Maybe Norway is the exception but it was recently rated one of the happiest (most prosperous) industrialized nations with a tax rate over 50%, but they have cradle to grave health care and never see a bill and never have to deal with insurance companies. The approach in America to rising health care costs is start cutting more corners. If you cut away at corners enough, you end up with a circle. Round and round she goes. 100,000 fatalities per year due to unreadable prescriptions.

What if I don't want to be part of your system, are you going to force me?
