Dire, Wikipedia says Canada and Taipan are single payer, lots of other nations are national plus some private.

Per CNBC, average Ceo pay in America in 2016 was 12.4 million which was 335 times average worker pay.  Per Time money, same thing.

per Bloomberg, average US CEO made 16.85 million last year, world average was 6.51 million. China was 0.64

Gifted, I had SS held out of earnings on farm labor. If, I think, back then if a farmer was gonna claim a tax deduction and paid over $250 to a worker, SS had to be held out.Thanks for calling me a liar. Typical.

My purpose here is just to point out that the economic structure of health care in other places just isn't what all too many people think it is. There's a large part of the American political class insisting that this is just obvious. We should have a national, single payer, health care financing system. And the amazing thing about this is that so few countries actually do that. And most of those countries who are thought to have better health care systems than the US don't do that either.

There are indeed national health care systems out there--but they tend not to be single payer. And there are single payer systems out there, or close enough at least--but they tend not to be national.
