US Hospitals are NOT safe
From CNN.com:
Some staggering stats:
•The U.S. ranks last out of 19 developed countries in preventable deaths in hospitals.
•You are 33,000 times more likely to die from a hospital error than a plane crash.
•1 in 5 patients in the U.S. suffer harm from medical errors.
•7,000 people are killed each year by medication errors - giving the wrong pill or too much of the right pill.
•1.7 million infections are contracted in the hospital each year.

The "health" system in most countries is about death and dying. It should be obvious to everyone that this system enjoys making money out of sick people. They would be out of business, so money is more important to them than the health and happiness of the people who pay their wages. Anything progressive and problem solving in a healthy way is the enemy of the unhealthiest of people, namely those who suffer from addictions such as money and power. Their addictions have brought every life system into decline and yet they are respected members of society, running businesses, such as pharmaceutical companies, and
countries.
