Mulp, rather than make the claim the swiss system is better than our own, please specify exactly WHAT they did to make it better. What inside thier system needs to be removed or added to our own to make it equal or better. Furthermore, places like CUBA (who you called a capitalist healthcare system) need to be compared to FRANCE and figure out why one is better.
Mulp, you cannot look at the bottom dollar and make a judgment until you understand how that dollar figure is possible. You seem oblivious that, to cut ourselves down to their level of average expense is NOT government impliments but in fact CUTS inside the private sector and many of which are already government regulated ergo keeping the prices high where capitalism would allow prices to drop!
In case my last paragraph confused you let me put it into lamens terminology. The government already plays a HUGE INFLUENCE on what our healthcare costs! You think adding even more government would lower it while most economists would agree the reverse is true. Capitalism has always proved the best product or service at the lowest price when government leaves it alone, with the only exception being MONOPOLIES......

People seem to believe that Government provided health care is "FREE"..when it is anything but. Someone is going to have to foot the bill, and considering the way the government manages other endeavors of monetary concern, it will indeed cost a great deal more. And to compare a nation like one of the smaller socialist countries of Europe that depend upon the "good nature" of their enemies not to attack them, is surely a bad example, as they have no where near the cost for their military and security than does the US. If you want a valid comparison of total "regulation" by a SUPER POWER in its attempts to maintain a government trough for its citizens and the ability to remain a Super Power in conflict with other Super Powers....compare the message that history presents us in the case of the USSR.
