This thread is a classic example of why the Right in Europe is not comparable to the Right in the United States. The European Right is far more big government than we are and find the American right baffling in their opposition to single payer. They are far more open to the welfare state than we are.
I, myself, don't back favor universal healthcare, Medicare for all, or single payer & and would prefer to restructure healthcare along the lines of guaranteeing more competition, restricting Medicare benefits to the truly needy, etc. while mandating a floor of coverage and care that would be of a quality nature. It's funny, because my position is to the right of Farage.
Something like Switzerland, perhaps?
The Swiss franc (CHF) has nearly the same value as the US dollar, so CHF 400 works out to nearly $400.00.
It's not a good model, one of the more poor one's & has attracted a lot of criticism. For one, it is never going to work in a big country because Switzerland with its massive tourist economy, shadow banks n stuff is a rich country with good distribution of wealth among everyone. It is a small country & you can probably do this less efficient stuff.
There's a reason why every major country doesn't have this kind of a system - You can't say take a less efficient system in Monaco or Cayman Islands or the Vatican & try to replicate in a large country !
