CJ, > Are their problems worse than ours? By most measures I have seen, they beat out the US in many categories. Yet their costs are a lot lower. Their costs are not a lot lower. High taxes and high regulation means that big government "hides" most of the costs in its massive bureaucracy. Unfortunately, I don't have an alternative solution. In fact, I think it's inevitable that America will adopt some form of universal health care. We're already half-way there anyway; hence the problems that we see now (without the benefits of universal coverage). Tenchusatsu
