The last word

Article Abstract:

The US health care system is in need of reform, but its basic system is solid with competent professionals, excellent technology and a reasonably stable economy. An examination of the Commonwealth of Independent States' health care system reveals a massive, complex system that lacks managerial training, technology, supplies and money. However, the system does provide universal access, potential for preventative care and professionalism. The US should consider all these factors when formulating its own health care reforms.
