    Our system is good. People like to whine because they don’t get the alternative is doubling our taxes.

    I’m fine with the system. As survey after survey has shown most of us are.

    You thought Japan had a socialist system without realizing it’s more similar to ours. I wouldn’t be taking insurance advice from you.

    and? None of this has anything to do with Japan.

    I am against Socialized healthcare. The NHS is a failure. Our current system works fine for most Americans. What many American don’t realize is we pay less in taxes but in return we pay at the time of use.

    The system isn’t that different than the American system. To call in a socialist system is factually wrong. The doctors are in private practice. The employer provides your insurance. If you can’t afford it or are elderly, it is provided. We have Medicaid and Medicare, which are the same thing. The only difference is that they are 70/30, and we are 80/20 in most cases. If they proposed that system in America, it would be a step backwards for most people.

    No, the health care does not meet the criteria for socialized medicine unless you want to ignore the meaning of words to create a new definition. Using your definition, America has socialized medicine. The Japanese system is closer to the American system than it is to the NHS, which is a socialized system.

    I said firearms are restricted. That isn’t the same thing as a ban. The main reason Japan has such a low crime rate is its very conservative society.

    Japan doesn’t have socialized medicine. They have universal care. The government pays 70%. The user pays 30%. The insurance is provided through your employer. The doctors are private practice and not government employees. Guns are not banned but heavily restricted.
