That's a bullshit article if I ever saw one. First, what they have is socialized medicine, since they are stealing from the healthy, working and young and giving to the sick, idle and old. If the government were providing the medical care, that would be communism.
Second, where is the discussion of why the doctors don't just leave? Maybe because they are just now getting the hint and studying English? Maybe they are just stupid?
Well, the smoke like chimneys in Japan and still outlive Americans, at half the cost. What's 'bullshit' about that? I also hear many US MD are getting squeezed out by insurance companies (?) these days.
It is a bullshit article because it doesn't deal with a lot of real issues, among them being:
1. Any system that forces healthy young people to participate will of course be cheaper than one in which the sickest are the ones paying the insurance premiums, as in the USSA, because the healthy are too smart to participate in insurance nonsense.
2. Smokers in a compulsory healthcare insurance system pay through the nose throughout their healty youth and then die just when they live to an age at which their healthcare expenses would mount drastically, especially those related to long-term care or chronic care. Smokers lower the healthcare costs of any nation. Of course, the Japanese have the longest average lifespan in the world, so the question is, how long on average does a non-smoking Japanese live and to what do we attribute their longevity?
3. Why do the MDs put up with the low wages? Especially the specialists, who earn what the GPS earn?
4. In what sense is the system not "socialized"? In the socialized medical insurance system of Germany, for example, the provider is generally a private practitioner or hospital as well.
