Point taken, and the whole reason so many of us are interested in this topic is that we need to move in that direction (my opinion) in the US. Looking forward to some interesting discussion in the months ahead as I sit with sweaty palms moving shares around during the day <ggg>. Best regards, John

The preceding paragraph is interesting, too. "The current French health-care system is, unlike the systems in the other European countries visited on the Campbell tour, based on coverage through an array of insurance schemes. This is in contrast to the systems in Sweden, Norway and the United Kingdom, in which the main payer for health services is the government. These are known as Beverage systems, in contrast to the insurance-based Bismarck system that is in place in France. Insurance schemes also play a big role in the health-care systems of Germany and the Netherlands." Interesting labeling. "Bismarck" seems clear but "Beverage"?
