U.S. Health Care Deemed 'Dysfunctional' - washingtonpost.com: "The U.S. health care system is 'a dysfunctional mess' and politicians who insist otherwise look ignorant, according to a medical journal essay by a prominent ethicist at the National Institutes of Health. President Bush frequently has said Americans have the world's best health care system, but Emanuel stopped short of calling Bush clueless in his essay and during an interview with The Associated Press. 'I work for the federal government. You can't possibly get me to make that statement,' Emanuel said in the interview."
