(add References)THEN RESPOND TO THE 2 POST BELLOW (150 words each) Post 1After reading about healthcare in other countries, I am almost grateful that we have the insurance that we do here in America. While some things seem better, many things to me sound worse than what we deal with now. Some similarities between US healthcare and Japan, Switzerland and France are:Some major differences in the healthcare of these countries and the United States:To me, these countries\’ health systems seem very expensive to the average consumer, although the percentage spent on healthcare of the Gross Domestic Product is significantly smaller than the US, but France and Switzerland still rank as a couple of the most expensive healthcare systems in the world, at 11.6 and 11.7% respectively.(Pgs. 386, 387) Here in America, we, for now, have the option to at least choose who we want to be insured by, the kind of plan we want and how we want to spend our funds, as in higher premiums and cheaper copays, or vice versa. The French and Japanese are not given much choice. I would have to look at the average salary of a French citizen, but I don\’t think I would like 20% of my pay going straight to insurance. Currently, I pay about 4% of my income towards my insurance. I know that America needs healthcare reform, but these other countries do, too. I think they are going in the right direction though, with concentrating more on generic pharmaceuticals and having the government regulate prescription drug prices, as in Switzerland. The United States healthcare system is run by the insurance companies and the pharmaceutical companies, not the government. I think they could take more governmental control while still giving the citizens some choices in their care.
