  1. Australian here: As an outside observer and someone who went to college in America there's an easy answer. All those clowns from Harvard's Medical School need to do is walk a few yards over to the Harvard Business School and they'll get the answers they seek.

  3. ​ @ramonaboggio7402  I'm Australian but went to college in America. So I know what we have down under and I have some experience of being in America. We also hear lots about places like Canada and Britain. My father also had a heart attack while visiting Italy so my family has seen their system in action. No one has the perfect system BUT the one thing I can state with absolute certainty is that NOBODY in the world wants to copy what America has right now. The problem for America is how do you change a system with 330 million people in it. Australia has 26 million and we struggle to change things. So changing the health care system for 330 million people is going to be unbelievably difficult and anyone who simply says _"Lets just do A, B, C..." is talking out their butt. I can't see America moving to a British NIH type system but maybe you could move to a system like Australia which has BOTH public and private systems running in parallel OR maybe something like Canada has which is sort of part way between Australia and Britain. The one thing I think America could do which would be a massive step in the right direction is to control the prices a lot better. We hear of some of the prices you guys pay and fall over in disbelief. At the core of it America's real problem isn't capitalism its the type of unrestrained capitalism that's running right now where profit is the only measure of economic value. Your lobbyists, Think Tanks and Super Pacs are simply out of control. Looking back the stupidity and ludicrous nature of the Citizens United, that decision has to be overturned. Until that's fixed there's almost zero chance of fixing anything in America because whoever has more money to lobby with and spin the public narrative with wins.
