2. This reinforces every reason behind cost effective, better outcome SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE!

Better known as Health Care for All...

A.K.A. "Medicare (made better) for ALL model that Bernie Sanders has been talking a out all along. They knew it 8 years ago, Frontline demonstrated, and we sure as hell know now.

What the HELL are we waiting for? We have a candidate who has been explaining this in every one of his stump speeches, America.

It's time we did it.

3. Kicked and recommended! This discussion would never be allowed today. Recognize that first.

I like how Taiwan examined the strong and weak points of the health care systems in other nations.

One thing every country agrees on is do not allow the insurance industry to profit. Because insurance industry profit is pure dead weight that only benefits the men in building offices high in the sky.

How loyal is our elected "representation" when they can decide that masses of workers in manufacturing no longer need those jobs but health insurance jobs are crucial and must be protected at all costs.

4. What is common to these successful health care systems? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?

Answer: Corporations do not dictate terms to these nations. These nations strive to do things in the interest of a majority of citizens. You know, The General Welfare.
