If we are going to have real health care reform in this country... I think Germany is the one we should model. Not Canada, or UK's. This video explains why I think this way.

After the video you can watch the other 4 countries that make up the best health care systems in the World. Japan, Switzerland, Taiwan, U.K.
My view is U.K., Japan, and Taiwan would never fly here. To much Gov. control and too socialist... whereas Germany and Switzerland... has a happy medium. I find the perfect balance.. and what our country as a whole could live with.. and benefit from. Why not take a proven system that works and is one of the best to model?

What do you guy's think? Would one of these be better then what Obama is selling? Which one out of the 5 you like the best... or would work the best in America as a whole? Also.. do you think America is better then some of these or all of them?

This might make me unpopular but I'm in favor of Germany's. I have friends who live there.. my brother has been there. They love it. It's fair. It works. It's efficient. I don't see a downside from it.

I hate the idea of any government involvement, but I would find these systems more acceptable then the craptastic stuff Obama is shilling. I understand France's system works fairly well also.
