An interesting healthcare (read: European social healthcare) tidbit came to me this week from a friend. They were reading their embassy's report on healthcare in one of the European countries (both countries are in the EU).
The comment was made that the government run healthcare in the subject country was of rather poor quality (I can't mention countries, but it would make you laugh if I could) but that private insurance (yes, no typo - privately paid insurance) offered the respective citizens to have a measurably better quality of healthcare. But, this was from private (and not public) hospitals and physicians.
Not to put an undue point on it but, it does suggest how ridiculous and crazy the attempt to give everyone the same high quality of care the healthcare reforms are in the US.
Old Europe has learned that even with high taxes and very low economic growth, eventually you have to get somewhat back to getting what you pay for and everyone doesn't get the same free lunch!
