The Republi-CON "America's Got the Greatest Health Care System in the World' Myth

The Daily Show visits "a place with shockingly poor health care conditions, they're still reeling from the loss of a civil war, a quarter of the young people are living in poverty, they have high rates of cancer, heart disease."  

Responds a regular Hedgehog News commentator: "This is how bad it could get, sure, if we keep going down the path of more government control, less innovation.  I don't know if we could be that place unless great catastrophe happens to this country."
