Low,
Our schools are pitiful, no amount of increased money can fix them, it's a systemic thing that is killing them. We used to be stellar in this area, but the bureaucracy is strangling them.
Healthcare, yeah we need work on this, however again, I think our government is riddled with systemic issues that are tantamount to too much waste at the top. The gov here basically started this systemic fuckup of a healthcare with their mandated HMO's in the 70's. This idiotic tie between employer and health coverage. Which drove up prices, reduced the freedom of the doctors to provide care and turned the medical field into a paradigm where doctors charge as much as they can, do as much volume as possible and the insurance companies scrape as much as they can off the top. < Gov program from day 1.
Personally, I have very little faith in OUR government run programs.
- as long as it is a for profit system healthcare won't get better. only solution is gov intervention.DrBombay
