Consequently, ill-health is something to be feared here, even more than in most other developed countries...
...avoid some of the problems encountered by the NHS. It needs only sufficient political will for these measures to be introduced. Kennedy is confident that this is bound to come; if not in the next session of Congress, then in the next one. In the meantime, high costs and uneven services will continue. And the old man in the drugstore might not get his new glasses...
