Swine flu has swept onto the health care stage recently and the concern is how to protect Americans if we end up facing a pandemic. Most national citizens are of the opinion that the US has the best health care in the world and that’s the reason why Mexico is having a difficult time of maintaining life for it’s people. Supposedly Americans have access to great medical care and health insurance so may be protected from facing the issues arising in Mexico for their people and their government. So a question arises, why are we still maintaining our health better than the citizens of Mexico?
