60 Minutes takes a look at the real state of our healthcare system

... and it isn't pretty.

In the richest country in the world, a country that prides itself on its generosity and its support of human rights, the real and functional attitude is "If you can't make a profit on 'em, f@&k 'em."

Watch the short version of the segment here. (The full version is available on the "60 Minutes" web site.)

We like to think we have the best health care possible here in the US but that's only for those who can afford it. For the rest, it's on par with the health care in Haiti ... maybe not as good. Now there's something to take pride in.
