Revolution Health and the Heart
Healthcare is a hot button topic in every country no matter what system they use to manage it. The U.S. is generally understood to have cutting edge medical care that is overpriced and out of reach of people without health insurance. In other countries where socialized medicine ensures that everyone has access to basic care, there are complaints about the quality and speed with which people can get the treatment they need.
Former AOL Chairman Steve Chase has founded Revolution Health for Americans to help them organize their medical records, act as a go-between with their insurance company, and even source out the best medical care (for a fee). I was pleased to find A Hearty Life listed on their heart resource page, which has recent news, forums, personal stories, and blogs. You can even rate and review your own doctor!

It’s possible to have good medical care, affordable to everyone. It’s the case in France, mostly.
Unfortunately, despite high taxes, this has led to a monstrously huge public debt. There’s always a problem somewhere…

Amelie: Hey there. Sorry for missing your comment! Healthcare often feels like one of those no win situations. We are healthier, live longer, and incur great medical expenses!
