Summary: The unique tragedy of an expensive and ineffective US health system is summed up in a quick, hilarious sketch. Brilliant! Humor for social change is so powerful. Share widely.

By Jim Kahn, M.D., M.P.H.

So funny! I smile each time I listen.

And, so concisely capturing how stunningly abysmal our health system is compared with other nations. I frown when I contemplate that.

Let’s finally join the rest of the wealthy world, with generous, anxiety-reducing, healthy, and inexpensive universal health coverage. Single payer.
