The Daily Show's Aasif Mandvi mocked Fox Business commentator Todd Wilemon and his claim that the United States has "the greatest health care system in the world" -- or did, until that damned Obamacare came along and screwed everything up.

Wilemon had dire warnings that the Affordable Care Act was going to turn America's health care system into one resembling a third world country, but as Mandvi discovered while traveling with Remote Area Medical's Stan Brock to Knoxville, TN, the United States was already looking like a third world country for those who could not afford access to medical care.

Wilemon had a hell of a time when pinned down on just how the ACA was going to make the problems for the people Mandvi visited in Tennessee any worse.
