Facts cannot be ignored. The US spends far more money as percentage of GDP on healthcare then any of the industrialized countries in the world. It is also the only one of these countries without some sort of universal system AND has the lowest lifespan and among the highest in infant mortality rates.
Looking at the obesity rates in the US compared to these other countries also clearly negates the notion that a universal system breeds laziness. Of course, the healthcare industry wouldn't want Americans to know the real facts. They have spent hundreds of millions of dollars in lobbying making sure of that.
