Insurance companies are still competing and turning a profit. The quality of care in the EU is on average higher then the US (even higher if you only take the west of the EU) according to the WHO... What is so different in the US? Why wouldn't they be able to implement this right? Also, going back to your Caterpillar arguement in the OP Mafoo - I'd say it levels the field of competition. Here in Europe, companies have been insuring their employees for decennia. |
Well for one... it's not free healthcare. And not in the "someone has to pay for it" free healthcare.
It's in the... people still have to pay for their own healthcare, this does nothing to control costs, and are going to offer subsidies that will probably at best cover the increases that result in all of the assesability additions.
As was already stated... the WHO studies didn't actually hold a single statistic that involved the results of actual healthcare... the closest thing they rated that was considered how effective healthcare was, was asking people "How healthy they feel."
That was it, and that doesn't even take in numerous cultural factors that would effect such an answer. For example, the US is VERY high on stress.
