Re: Poor Britons healthier than rich Americans (4.00 / 2)
Strangely enough, from the same edition of the JAMA:
Conclusions  Even among higher-income adults, lack of health care insurance was associated with significantly decreased use of recommended health care services; increased income did not attenuate the difference in use between uninsured and insured adults. Efforts to improve the use of recommended health care services among the uninsured should focus on patient education and expanding insurance eligibility for both lower-income and higher-income adults.

I had my ear bent by an American couple for an hour last saturday on the train on the inadequacies of US healthcare (and other issues ;-)))
