Opinion: Swiss and Dutch private insurance provide better universal health coverage than Canada’s single-payer system, write Regina E. Herzlinger and BacchusBarua

Sen.

Bernie Sanders described his Medicare for All legislation in a Fox News town hall the other night: “What we are talking about is simply a single-payer insurance program, which means that you will have a card which says Medicare on it, you go to any doctor that you want, you will go to any hospital that you want.” He added that “you’re not paying any more premiums, you’re not paying any more copayments, you’re not paying any more deductibles.

BacchusBarua Well, realDonaldTrump in 2015 wanted to get rid of ALL private healthinsurance drawn ArtificialLines, but then TheResistance helped divert him deep and ever deeper into the arms of big corporate money.

BacchusBarua Fractured and crumbling America needs SinglePayer to UNITE the nation. 1 for all, all for 1.

BacchusBarua ....but America will NEVER be Switzerland or the Netherlands, so give it up!

BacchusBarua Why it’s a wonder Canadians haven’t rebelled en masse against this supposedly terrible socialist nightmare of a healthcare system they’re forced to endure

BacchusBarua The swiss, dutch and german private insurance providers are highly regulated, unlike insurance companies in the US

BacchusBarua Good for them.... The United States' private insurance does not. Next?

BacchusBarua I wonder if that's because they don't have: a) a very long history of free medicare where people eventually abuse the system, going to Emerg for a cold; b) socio-economic and other factors that have contributed to overall poorer health among N.A.s as compared to Europeans.

BacchusBarua This is an “opinion”. Private health insurance works....is this a joke?

BacchusBarua Fascinating read , thanks ✌🏻

BacchusBarua US should try being Switzerland for a couple years. Strong currency, independent cantons (states), strong immigration laws, healthcare that works, low taxes (0% cap gains tax) and no military excursions abroad!

The Wall Street Journal published pro corporate nonsense. I can’t believe it.

BacchusBarua Every American should read this!!!
