Honestly the Japanese setup seems to be the better option. They have aboveboard single-payer (that is, it's not hidden in taxes, you pay in up-front), and then they subsidize a certain amount of your health care based on your income bracket. They forced all study-abroad students to enroll, so i got 75% off all health treatments (never needed one, but one or two students did in the course of the semester), and then paid the lowest level of payments in. Japan has much lower health-care costs across the board, too, something that needs to be done in America (with lower pay for doctors, for one, despite much of their system being privately run) |
I think the average Japanese person is more healthy than the average American. That probably plays a big part.

Sounds like this is heavily regulated. America is all about no regulation. Some seem to think that the greedy CEO at the top is going to make the best decision for everyone. Not the case, the greedy will chose money over a dieing baby in the room with them . Thats the simple truth people don't want to see.

Huh? How is any of tha related to the Japanese living a healthier life style than Americans and thus having less costs for healthcare?

the point that he said you pay off your pay scale. That is a regulation, a good one but others in US do not like regulation. It's all or nothing with some people. I think there is a good grey area.
