The U.S. health care system is private base, and the public plans which like Medicaid, Medicare and SCHIP only are available for little population; U.S. is the country who spends nearly 15% of G.D.P. per year on health care with little gain. If I had 10 minutes to sit in front of the whole Congress, I would definitely tell them just take other countries success plans into consideration. The health budget can learn from Japan and Germany health systems, which have the annual standard price conference that benefits patients and customers. Japan has the private health provision system just like U.S., and Japanese government insures that the private physicians, clinics, and hospitals provide the access to all health care. The Senate Finance Committee said no to the public health insurance option last month, and maybe the insurance plans can learn from Switzerland who had the smooth health care reform in 1994; the Switzerland government try to control the health care cost while guaranteeing universal access to basic health care package by provided insurance coverage from both public and private companies, they actually made private insurance market not so profit orientation. There are different health care systems all over the world, and each system has its own strength; the U.S. system should have the chance to improve and provide better care to its people.
