I do care! I'm proud of our system! Lets compare it to the shabby healthcare in China?

The Chinese government's focus is on the economy. It's political culture revolves around sacrifice for the whole.
The American government's focus is on civil society. It's political culture revolves around fear of too much power in one spot.
This makes the American government more suited for creating a medical care system then China. Socialism has nothing to do with it. (In fact, economically, China is much more a capitalist state then most).

General welfare clause is enough.
And America's health care system is worse of then most countries. Sure we have the highest technology and quality, but since people can't pay for the astronomically priced operations...what difference does it make?
Number one cause of bankruptcy in America is what?
