Question: What do foreign countries think of the American healthcare system?
Specifically the way our health insurance sucks so bad.
And I’m sorry, but if you are an American you can join me in hating the evil health insurance companies, but you can’t really answer this question… well, I guess if you’ve traveled you might know.

I’m and Aussie living in the States and I think your system is a disgrace. I’ve had nothing but problems with it. I’m actually moving back to Aus. and one of the main reasons is the health care issue.
I think that the US system is insane. And sorry to say this, I think Americans are insane for putting up with it! No offence meant, but the system that is used has poor outcomes and fails America and Americans. Why people put up with it is beyond me.
FACT – the USA spends more on healthcare PER PERSON than any other nation on the planet.
FACT – the US has higher death rates for kids aged under five than western European countries with universal health coverage.
That means that a dead American four year old would have had a better chance of life if they were born in Canada, France, Cuba, Germany, Japan etc, all of which have universal health coverage.
