Why won't the US implement Europe's method for battling hospital infections?

» Europe is killing off hospital infections. Why isn't the United States following suit? "Why are we spending millions if not billions on bird flu, a ghost that might not happen, when you have thousands being colonized by MRSA and dying of it?" Dr. William Jarvis, a top CDC hospital-infection expert until he resigned in 2003.

Did you watch the http://www.pbs.org/remakingamericanmedicine/care.html Remaking American Medicine documentaries? The first episode did a very good job explaining MRSA and the difficulties American hospitals have in combating it.
