A little perspective on healthcare in other countries.
People always use other countries as examples of healthcare systems that are “better” than the United States. Here are the populations of those countries:
Norway = 4,861,100
Switzerland = 7,779,200
Sweden = 9,340,682
Cuba = 11,204,000
Australia = 22,174,000
Canada = 34,021,000
UK = 62,041,708
Vatican City! = 800Number of Kaiser Permanente members in California = 8.6 million
People also forget to mention the tax rates in those “better” countries. The UK is pushing a 50% income tax. Denmark, often heralded as a shining example of government care, is at 74%. I don’t know about you, but I could purchase a lot of health care on my own for that kind of money, and have full discretion over the kind of care I receive to boot.
