All you've done is point out that the system has problems. No one is denying that.

But having problems is not the same as failing.
Are you suggesting that a health care system follow the same guidelines as educational grading to determine what failing is? What would you say about our postal service if 45.7M citizens couldn't get mail? What would you say about our police/fire departments if 45.7M citizens couldn't get emergency response? Call me crazy, but I'd say those would undoubtedly be failures.

It doesn't get much more simple than "we pay the most yet have the least to show for it." Our health care system right now is like a $250 Zeepk disposable.
