Swiss Health Care System

[downbeatplumb]

Ever since I read about the Swiss health care system, I have advocated adopting it for Australia. That would mean for Australia abolishing medicare and replacing it with a system which would require private insurers be required to offer offer coverage to all citizens, regardless of age or medical history. And in turn people be obligated to buy health insurance with subsides for those whose health insurance expenses are more than a certain percentage of their income.

It has the best of all possible worlds namely universal coverage, along with a customer driven focus.

This looks like the dreaded obamacare, which americans are for some reason afraid of.

I for one would never move to america unless i was minted because of the poor health system for us lowly paid workers.
