"That's why I say that universal health care will drastically lower the number of uninsured here in America, but the number will never go to zero. Too many people on the fringes of society (e.g. illegal immigrants) can never fit into the system." I think Americans can live with the 5% of uninsured, just as they live with the 5% unemployed without qualm. Why let perfection be the enemy of the good?

I don't even believe illegals are part of the German 5% non insured fraction: this is mostly about self employed, who don't really have to sign up to any health insurance plan at all. Add the illegals, where I don't believe the Germans run any accounts of those, to that. Taro
