American health care system is profit based, and it is one of the most complex and bureaucratic in the world. I can compared them as i have lived in different countries, and experience them also.
unfortunately the health system it is based on money only... the concept of "you get what you pay for", does not apply here, as no one control the actual costs of a procedure. it is a "cartel activity" system, as costs are whatever a hospital/doctor says...
I can not complain about the quality of American hospitals (experience that with my father), but i know how much it did cost.
not sure about "Obama deathcare" policy to answer...sounds out of reality!!
