  1. considering american population is so divided on everything-by state, by city, by race, by gender, by age, by political party. Lack of unity and trust in crisis=bad results

  2. actually german system is my favorite. Multi-payer mandatory insurance system. Everybody is covered, yet enough money is going to the system, since the insurance companies are paying the hospitals. Countries like usa with non-universal, optional insurance system has healthcare that is far too expensive for uninsured individuals which is a large portion of population, while for single payer systems like uk, healthcare system often lacks sufficient funding for advanced technology, and highly trained, highly paid medical personnel. Germany is best of both worlds.

  10. I've heard italy's single payer system has problems with funding, ever since the government tried to boost economic growth and cut debt, which was mounting, thus healthcare system saw a budget cut to it. Same as uk and spain. All 3 countries saw very high death rates due to healthcare systems that was easily overwhelmed due to underfunding by government, their only souce of funding. Germany is best of both worlds. It gets lots of money from wealthy insurance companies, and everyone's covered, unlike in usa where uninsured people(a large porpotion) have to pay thousands out of pocket
