Another perspective

I just watched news coverage of massive protests against planned change in the national health care system. Only I live in Germany, so the protesters are fighting to keep their health insurance out of the hands of for-profit private entities. The best sign of the night, "Stop the Americanization of health care."

When you Americans in my audience consider the possibility of nationalizing health insurance, keep in mind that for the rest of the industrialized world, America's current sytem is the universally recognized example of what not to do.
