HealthCare reform

Now, I'm not saying any country has the right answer, but why don't we look around the country at other rich, successful countries and see what they are doing. PBS had a great documentary on about health care and it makes you wonder. If the Brits, Japanese, Taiwanese, Germans and Swedes can do it, with less admin costs, than why can't we? OH that's right, because Doctors/Hospitals/Insurance companies won't take the pay cut. After all, It isn't like they chose the health care profession to improve the quality of life for humans. They chose health care in America to get rich and you know what, it's our fault. We have allowed this to happen.

I'm shaking my head.....in disappointment. :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake:

Watch the documentary. It is very insightful. As I said before, not every system is perfect. But then again, at least they don't have 66% of their bankruptcies being related to medical bills.

Thanks for the link.

How much of the cost of healthcare in the U.S. is because people who work hard and save are free to spend their own money on healthcare?
