What do foreign countries think of the American healthcare system?

asig33882003 asked:


Specifically the way our health insurance ***** 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.

    who cares what others think about us? Guess what we think about them? It’s pointless really

    I find it hard to believe so many support a system designed for the wealthy and working, without protection for when you need it most

    that is why people come all around the world for our healthcare. Global healthcare is a communistic program which reagan (my hero) strongly spoke against since it took away freedoms.

    I’ve had business dealings with people in Canada and England, and have asked them their opinion about their health system and ours.

    To a person, every one says they have some problems, but wouldn’t change it to something like the US. They think we’re crazy for keeping it like it is. The amount individuals and businesses pay and not having everyone covered is not understood by them.

    I will join. I have seen a few different documentaries that proves USA has a Terrible System. Foreigner visits to US hospital, is for the super rich. We all are not super rich. And you can not petition the Lord with Prayer. As well as Voting for a President for your health care.

    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.
