It’s not beyond consideration, but I find it tiring to read on HN over and over that the US has it all wrong and we should look to Europe as a model. Unemployment is much higher in Europe, economic growth is near non-existent, wages are much lower. Every system has pros and cons, but it’s time to stop acting like the American system is a failure.
(And for the record, I think a national health care system would improve this country tremendously. I’ve never understood why Republicans don’t embrace it as helping small businesses and entrepreneurs. Too many people are tied to a job simply for the health insurance. Imagine the potential in this country if everyone is free to pursue greater business ideas unburdened by the thought of “where’s our health care coming from?”
