I've lived long-term in two countries and visited dozens. Not once have I ever heard a citizen of these countries say, 'Gosh, if only we had an insurance scheme like they have in the US.'
I recently received my final EOCS regarding back surgery I had on October 22 of this year. Total billable cost was a squidge over NZ$80,000. My share of that was just under NZ$100 - the surcharge for a private room.
I confess to knowing very little about Obamacare. I related the above simply to point out that it is possible to have a comprehensive national health care system without either excessive taxation or wrecking your economy.
