The Democrats are succeeding in destroying what is by far the best health care system in the history of the world.

Huh? U.S. health care ranks near the bottom in most studies. All American doctors do is treat symptoms, not root problems. I've heard that European doctors tend to have a more holistic approach.

And Obamacare is only going to make everything worse.

America has by far the best health care system in the world.European health care is far worse than America.

The British health care system is on the brink of collapse.

Most other countries have health care far worse than in the U.S.

However, Obama and the Democrats are working to make your false statement come true. If they continue, healthcare in the U.S. will be completely substandard in a few years.

Can you please define what you consider a root problem that physicians should treat?

You are misinformed.

American doctors do treat symptoms which is what medicine is all about.

In Europe, the “holistic” approach you refer to is cost containment driven and mostly consists of doctors giving patients a nice sympathetic shoulder to cry on and a prescription of aspirin or pain killer to make you feel better and maybe put you on a nice long list for real care.

Britain's NHS is a total disaster. Consider a medical system with the work ethics, focus on quality and job devotion of the United Autoworkers or the SEIU combined with the operational model of your local dept of Motor Vehicles and you have only just begun to scratch the surface of the dysfunction of that system.

A case study in the quality of the current state of European health care as exemplified of the British NHS

This person was an NHS director. At least the NHS system is egalitarian
