The system isn’t that different than the American system. To call in a socialist system is factually wrong. The doctors are in private practice. The employer provides your insurance. If you can’t afford it or are elderly, it is provided. We have Medicaid and Medicare, which are the same thing. The only difference is that they are 70/30, and we are 80/20 in most cases.
If they proposed that system in America, it would be a step backwards for most people.
I am against Socialized healthcare. The NHS is a failure. Our current system works fine for most Americans. What many American don’t realize is we pay less in taxes but in return we pay at the time of use.
That statement alone discredits everything you say.
“A record 23 % of Americans believe the United States healthcare system is “in a state of crisis” and 47% think it has “major problems,” according to a recent poll from the West Health-Gallup Center on Healthcare in America.”
Thanks for proving my point 23% this there is a crisis. That means more people do not think it is in crisis. Which means, it is working fine for most Americans
If a Democrat put an exact copy of the Japanese healthcare system into a bill before US Congress, Republicans would be screaming it’s socialism.
South Africa has a very conservative society too.

and? None of this has anything to do with Japan.

23% think it’s in major crisis and 47% think it has major problems. That’s 70% who don’t think the system is good. It proves you are wrong.
Yet over 70% are happy with theirs. Did you read the whole poll?
Yes, it doesn’t say what you claim anywhere. Can you explain how you came to the 70% figure?
