I could also live with a system like Germany's, where insurers are private but the state requires equal treatment and effective systems of cost control.
No system's perfect, and every system needs to be effectively managed.
I've long since come to the point of wondering how much the U.S. behavior actually negatively impacts other countries' health care systems.
In many ways more indirectly that this following, but also explicitly in Canada, they keep pushing for increased privatization. Want that marketshare, and to be the middleman between patients and services.
In Germany very few insurers are private. Most are state-nonprofit, private is split into most being private-nonprofit and the tiniest part being private-forprofit.
I think the good part is that we have a very good state healthcare, it's non-optional for basically 99.9% of the population.
The sad thing is that our actual healthcare system (doctors and hospitals) are in need of workers and doctors which leads to them preferring the privately insured patients.
