I live in the US, and get involved at ground level with our health care system. A accurate number is imposible to come up with for folks with insurance. I would assume however that over 50% don't have enough insurance. And when you load first timers with what they assume is enough insurance they are peacefull in mind.
However if you have a emergency call with those same folks a few months later, they are allarmed at what the new emergency is going to cost. They will try there best to avoid additional health care because they can't afford it.
We also in our golden years think death is a better option than giving up personel posesions that will be passed on to our children.
Most folks that think they have very good insurance haven't got a clue what road they are heading down if a major health event demands high dollars.
I feel health insurance is like the lottery. More money MUST come in than go outward. Besides all the help must be paid in the insurance field also. We all know that the insurance folks are not exactly (as a overall group) in the low income bracket.
We in America are fortunate to be able to look down on those less fortunate who have no insurance or poor health that has put them in the beggers position. We all asume we are somehow smarter than them because we got a few breaks in life that we refer to as hard working, dedicated, conservitive, living with in our means. Well I often wonder if we have any idea of how fortunate we are.
Our walfare system wears camo clothing, and often put bright colors on those less fortunate that are what we call (a burden) to our comunity. Many of us have gotten government help, because we deserve it in our minds. If you don't believe I deserve the government hand outs, JUST ASK ME! Most of us take it for granite.
I'm a big believer that our government could indeed handle health care cheaper than all insurance companies combined. But we all know government and good managment doesn't go hand in hand.
Besides in the US, insurance companies, and drug companies can afford lobbiests, so government run health care is out of the question.
I'm fortunate to have VA health care, and our care is extremly good in our area.

Today's Featured Article - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
