Impeding changes to our Health Care system

Remember Ibram used to live in Taiwan.

In Taiwan they have universal health coverage - all in one system so none of this "pre-existing condition" nonsense.

It is government run, thus eliminating the drive for profit.

Governments are inefficient, right? Not this time. The administration costs have been whittled down to ONE PERCENT of the total bill. For comparison, in the USA, admin is 28% of the helath care budget.

That's before we get to the malpractise insurance costs and the highly unlikely tests that docs have to do to cover themsleves.
