Yes we can look at other countries and point out their system flaws, but the real question is how does that system compare to our own Health Care system and its problems? What would be the criteria for such an evaluation? Why do we assume a national system would be like other countries? Is handing our heath care to the government any better than handing it to a business?
It seems unscientific to look at one flaw and throw out the whole system. If we take that approach we would need to apply the same method to our own Health Care System.
Though, I am not convinced that either is the solution. I am not convinced insurance supplied by a business, whose purpose is to make money, is always going to make their decisions based on my best interests. (Wall Street anyone?) I am not convinced a government system can be better, but as someone said, we trust them to handle nuclear weapons.
I am a little biased. I could not afford health care for 7 years. Fortunately at that time I did not have kids, as I do now. My mother whose has had several years of health problems has run out of insurance. Supposedly a 'life-time' insurance policy...
I don't know the solution, but I think we need study the issue closely and objectively.
Sometimes I get the impression that some opinions are based on fear rather than substance.
