[QUOTE="onlyravi, post: 1877330, member: 24336"] Best governed is not equal to cheap healthcare. The tax rate in such countries is above 35%. And they are not VAT free. so life is not cheap and neither is healthcare. But tax money goes towards many other facilities so this point is totally vague to debate on. Only a proper break up of amount spent by these countries towards their healthcare would make proper sense. Its damn expensive. and non sustainable. Even in UK where you have NHS its not that you can just walk to any specialist. Its a whole mess. Like you first need to go to some primary clinics. They treat you and if after that they believe that you should be refereed to some higher specialist only and ONLY then you can visit specialist doctors. People are frustrated with the waiting periods to get appointments and this hierarchy is not going down so well. In US its VERY VERY expensive only coz it was made like this in the last few decades. Insurance companies were the drivers behind this. Working for a core health care product I can speak for this. What ObamaCare does is make insurance mandatory. Its reasonable now but later they will increase the price. And Insurance companies pay the hospitals from their earnings. How is the US govt going to pay the medical bills of the insured people????? They dont have too much cash to play with. There are grant provided hospitals in US like we have grant receiving schools and colleges. The Govt will mess up the entire healthcare scenario in US. If instead some how US Govt would have found out a way to make the existing healthcare system more affordable to the public would have made the best sense. But actually now I am feeling stupid discussing so much about US healthcare when I am staying in India. But yes it does affect my job so thats one very prominent reason I dont like it :D and no figures or data needed to support this one ....[DOUBLEPOST=1380788754][/DOUBLEPOST] EXACTLY.... [/QUOTE]
