No, ‘Every Other Developed Country’ Does Not Have Single-Payer Health Care
I came from Taiwan. We have government health insurance system. It covered all citizens and legal residents. The cost is under control because givernment regulation. Our doctors and medical system are very well known in Asian and mant cpeople from China or south asian come to Taiwan for medical procedures because the advanced skill and good price. The government actuall pay for doctors to learn the most advanced medical procedures oversea. We actually make money from our foreign patients. We use the most advanced medicine to treat patients.Doctors make decent money , more than average , but not allowed to chage $175 per visit(regular and it constitutes as $2100 per hour????). The average salary in Taiwan is about 75% of US average salary. The average monthly insurance is $20(USD) per person.You can schedule a doctor appointment immediately or walk in any govenment run medical center to see a doctor for any reasons. You don’t need to worry about lossing job and no health care. My sons who born and grew up in US were so impressed by the public run healthcare in Taiwan. They (now, after their own experienced during visiting) say that it is a shame for US, as the most developed country and also richest country does not care the necessity of its citizens and allowed special interest groups contol majority of people’s life and death. I am all for President Obama, he at least has heart to make a change for majority of this contry, not think about relection or popularity. History will tell.
