Healthcare on the edge

I realize that today is in the US a day for voting and for possible change for the US healthcare swamp. It may have been a system at one time but has disintegrated into a rabble of territoriality, infighting and control. We need change in the system.

I had a unique opportunity this week to speak to people from five national regions and get some insight into the healthcare system or non-system in their countries. For the most part these were small to medium employers in the UK, Canada, Thailand, France and Germany. In general the European system is, from the employers viewpoint, in chaos but works to provide multilevel health care at a cost. There is always an opportunity for upper middle and upper class folk in Europe to chose their healthcare and pay for it. There are some insurers, but few.

The Canadian system, often touted here in the US works to provide a basic level of healthcare; however, access to services is often a problem, as it is in the UK. Long waits for some services are not uncommon.

I urge everyone to vote here in the US. I urge us ALL to look for common good.
