All sorts of medical good news from America

1) 60 millions Americans are at high risk of vision loss but 5 million of them cannot afford glasses or eye exams.

2) Americans without health insurance receive less care and take longer to recover from illnesses.

3) 20% of heart attack patients experience financial difficulty related to their health care and those who do have a lower quality of life and are more likely to be rehospitalised.

Hey! The market works!
