Subject: Re: ****Re: guess what....
This is off topic, but interesting, I'd like to add my view of not-american
but (legal) immigrant.
I'm Italian, our health system doesn't work so well as European standards
because of Mafia, but, is much better than the private American one and cost
the country half of the American one. For get rid of the corruption and
Mafia clientèle, we copied the American system.
We introduced a pay about how many cure a doctor and a hospital do, they're
not paid on a monthly basis anymore. The experiment turned to be
catastrophic: doctors and hospital started to do expensive cure and
operations where weren't necessary.
That's the American problem: doctors are not paid on a monthly basis, but
how many cures and medicine they prescribe. No one controls it, the health
insurance companies support it because they'll just ask more money, etc. The
cure is an European style health system, public or private, and based on
prevention, not on the cure.
The additional cost attributed to illegal immigrants? well, in Europe we
have as many illegal immigrants as there is here, but the total cost of
health care it's half of the American (pro-capita) and performs much better
(see statistics about stroke survivals or infant mortality). Sure there is
people from other countries who came here for special cure, there is the
best doctors here, but that best is maybe for the 2% richest population?
