Looking into other countries health care systems

First, the U.S policy makers should consider the fact that all industrialized countries are doing better than us, and the U.S is not having one of the best health care systems in the world. We must look into the systems that are either closest to ours, like Germany or Japan, or the ones that are working as best, like the French or the UK. I believe that the UK's system, although cost-efficient and functional, is not going to sell in this country at this moment. The Japan's system would make the health care providers, as one of the many interested parties, miserable, and they are not going to let it happen. We should look into Germany's system, with private health care providers and multiple, at times, private payers. Then, in the long run, we can make adjustments from ideas from France and the UK since their systems are ranked better and their people are the happiest with their system.
