Universal Healthcare

Hilldog here. as you know I'm going to see to it no one ever is bankrupted by healthcare costs in America ever again.

We currently pay more then 16% of our GDP on healthcare and still aren't covering everyone, hundreds of thousands of citizens go bankrupt trying to pay their medical bills every year.

I was wondering who has THE BEST healthcare in the first world? We all know England is far to big brother and waiting list for America, we like competition more like Germany. But without the underpaid doctors of Japan who only spends 6% their GDP and may have to raise it to 8% like everyone else.

I think the best healthcare styles are Taiwan, and Switzerland. Because they cost only 8% or so of their GDP and cover everything WITHOUT horrible waiting lists. The rich pay very little with no copays, and poor are paid for by taxes. The Hospitals remain independent. The tax increases required to pay for it would be VERY minimal. Some experts say as little as the Bush Tax cuts being repealed.

Clinton-era Corporate-Socialists will try to implement the best of both worlds with Socialized medicine in the US, but covering everyone, but also by requiring people to buy health insurance.  For the middle class -- the target payers -- the costs will be crippling as the insurance companies rape their asses using pepper sauce.  The true poor will love the plan since they'll get their health-care for free, although the service will truly suck ass.  The wealthy will have a lot of loopholes available to them for getting out of paying.  And so, there you have it.  The middle class will continue to shrink, and those in it who remain are just going to get madder and madder.
