What does a health crisis look like? See Houston - USATODAY.com


Six months ago USAToday had an article on how Houston had the most overwhelmed health system of any major city in the country. Go ahead, read it to see why the Houston area is the worst in the nation.

Today - 21 Houston hospitals were on drive-by because of flu season and other reasons. Nothing has changed.

If you are wealthy Houston has some of the best facilities in the world. If you are not it is all day at a clinic for minor problems or an appointment in many months. Visit the ER for a few thousand dollar bill for minimal care after an all-day wait.

To get a true look at the problem be a Houston janitor.
