Your fuzzy thinking has taken advantage of you. Perhaps you shouldn't post after you've been drinking.

The simple fact is America already pays for the health care of all of it's citizens. They way that bill is paid for is haphazard at best.

Mandatory health care insurance solves the problem.

Q: The Zonders of the world claim they're unable to afford health insurance premiums, even if mandatory. What can be done?

A: Provided that a search of their assets and income verifies their poverty, their insurance premiums could be subsidized for far less money than is currently spent to provide care for the uninsured.

Medical Insurance premiums in America are far more costly than they should be because they pay part of the costs of the uninsured as well as those purchasing the insurance.

<I said Switzerland's rather unique position of a very wealthy and small number of people might have something to do with nearly all its population happily subscribing to private insurance plans.>

What ever else one can say about us, that is very much not the situation in the USA.

Thanks for recognizing that it makes a difference.
