Australia: population less than 10% of the US.
New Zealand: population about 5% of the US.
Japan: Population about 33% of the US.
Canada: Population about 10% of the US.
Yes they are.
If you want to talk about states individually deciding to provide healthcare for their citizenry, then I think there is a comparison to be made.
Do you think that the people in France would give up their French healthcare for one that was provided by the EU? The answer would be no.
- akg_67 6y agoOnce again, hogwash. You are making a non-sequitur argument as there is no developed country with similar population size to compare. What population got to do with delivering universal healthcare? It is actually opposite of what you are trying to imply. Larger the population better universal healthcare can be provided as cost and services shared across larger number of people. If smaller country like Japan can provide more effective healthcare than US, then US should be able to do 3X better not 1/3rd.
- thepasswordis 6y agoWhy hasn’t the EU demanded that member countries abolish the healthcare systems and create unified system? By your logic, everybody would win here, and the win is obvious. So what is holding it back?
