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

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.

    Our current system works fine for most Americans.

    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

    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?

    Only asking people with health insurance if they are happy with the American healthcare system is a bit like asking people in a boat if they are drowning. Ask the 8% of the population and more than 11% of American adults who don't have health insurance what they think of the system. And that data is prior to implementation of Trump's OBBBA which kicks 10-15 million people off Medicaid/Medicare.

    Edit : I would also question the reliability of data coming from a source called "SurveyMonkey".

    Our system is good. People like to whine because they don’t get the alternative is doubling our taxes.

    I’m fine with the system. As survey after survey has shown most of us are.

    You thought Japan had a socialist system without realizing it’s more similar to ours. I wouldn’t be taking insurance advice from you.
