Ashlee Simpson has the wrong impression of the Japanese healthcare system

Ashlee Simpson is talking about her bout with the exhaustion virus that claims countless young pop starlets each year. In mid-December, 2005 after a busy US tour, she went to Japan where she had to be hospitalized in less than ideal quarters:
The singer was promoting her new album, 'Autobiography,' and her very busy schedule was too much to bear.

She said, "I finished my US tour and went straight to Japan."

She explains, "I didn't go to a nice emergency room - I ended up in one with blood on the walls. Nasty."

"I was dehydrated. I had bronchitis."

She adds, "Who knows exactly what it was? I think it was just complete exhaustion."

Despite Ashlee's impression, Japan's health care system is much better than that of the United States. In a 2000 report by the World Health Organization, Japan ranked 10th overall in health care while the US came in at 37th - below most other industrialized nations. The US also has a higher infant mortality rate than Japan.

Here are pictures of Ashlee in April's Jane magazine.
