There's also the issue that there is not a "US health system". There are 50 slightly different health systems. Health insurance is still a state-level thing with different state-level requirements. We can't create a German-style compulsory insurance system until something is done about that.
Of course, nothing except political will is stopping individual states from doing so.

- vonmoltke 7y agoOh, maybe there is something of a model in Germany then.
