I can quickly get a world map of all nations with national healthcare Me, too. "What countries on our good green Earth provide some sort of universal health care for their citizens? Here they are: Afghanistan, Argentina, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Cuba, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iraq, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Oman, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Ukraine and the United Kingdom. Universal health coverage provided by United States war funding There you go. Keep in mind: this is a simple list of countries that have some sort of publicly sponsored health care system. For instance, Sri Lanka may be far from having a true, working universal health care system like France, but prescription drugs are provided by a government-owned drug manufacturer. This qualifies as "some sort of* publicly sponsored, universal health care system." " gadling.com And now the US, too. .you find a nation that doesn't have some form of national healthcare system... "there are 195 countries in the world." geography.about.com You do that math. 195-37=a whole bunch. Finding one is not much of a challenge.
