What's your opinion on the lack of health care ?

I was reading some of the questions in the medical section and found it very sad that so many people find it hard to get proper dental and health care. Speaking for the UK and US, supposedly advanced nations, what in your opinion is going on? Also, people from other countries, what are the facilities like in your country?

I think health care needs to stop being treated like a business, and start treating people regardless of what is in their wallet.
