All systems have problems. Pre-ACA, I had a friend that is a Belgian citizen that was sick. His employer provided insurance stopped covering his diagnosis attempts here and he had to go back to Belgium for about year to get healthy again. It was messed up, our system failed and he had to go back to the awful socialist system to live.I like the basics of the Swiss system. Everyone pays for basic coverage up to 8% of their income. If you don't buy coverage you get that 8% taxed by the government. If you want more coverage you can buy more. It's a harsher mandate that actually puts everyone in the risk pool.</blockquote>
