Well, right now, my US HMO decides if I get a drug or procedure, so I dont know why thats a better system than the Israeli government deciding. I have many American friends who now live in Israel and are very satisfied with the quality of care they are receiving. This article from the NEJM suns up the Israeli system quite nicely http://healthpolicyandreform.nejm.org/?p=2241. Every country, including Israel has much to criticize, but their health care system is really not one of them - particularly when compared to the US system.

Don't get the wrong idea. When I describe Israel's health system as socialized, that is far from a criticism. I'd love to have the system here. I was responding to the poster who seemed to believe that Israel is a capitalist paradise, which it is not.

This is the formula by which the government sets the price of all drugs in Israel. Capitalism at work!

Well then... I shouldnt have been so defensive. I was not trying to suggest that the system was not a socialist system, I was remarking that it is a good system.

Your creator is cruel. he created people that are not equal and therefore made the whole mess.
Now that the Jews have made suc intellectual contributions, lets wait for them to solve the Arab Israeli conflict
