OT Healthcare around the world

U.S. Again Ranks Last Among Developed Countries in Healthcare Quality is the headline in one of the journals I have access to. Seems our friends across the pond do much better the we do: The listing of Overall Care: 1) Netherlands, 2) UK, 3) Australia, 4) Germany, 5) New Zealand, 6), Canada, and 7) the US who also spent per per patient than the other countries listed.
Below is link to the actual article if anyone is interested.:

Before you emigrate find out if the country will take you. Many will not allow those with MS to even get Visas.

I know why don't we work to fix our system. Seems daunting but so does finding a cure for MS. We have to try.
