No, we pay 1.5 - 2 month salarie for taxes a year.

The health care cost about 200 Dollar a month.

[gunut4FMJ]

Oh shit! If it were like that in America I would have to pay about $7800 a year. That is more than I have to pay for health care now. I guess it goes to show that there is no such thing as free health care...

[Licker1984]

@gunut4FMJ

As I said before, we pay this for taxes.

Health Care costs about $200.00 a month

Robin, thank you for your perspective. From what I understand, Switzerland's health care system is different from those of all other industrialized nations, and I was hoping you could tell me if this is correct. The system requires individuals to purchase their health insurance and significantly relies on private-although heavily regulated-health insurance companies. It is the second most expensive health care system in the world (after the US) and there are 150,000 to 300,000 uninsured.

@jeffaherman

Yeah, that's correct. This companies are private but still regulated by the law. The individuals can chose which company they prefer and what extras they want. It's possible that 150'000 to 300'000 are uninsured, but as soon as they go to a hospital or to the doctor or move into another city, they heave to get insurance. I don't know though, what happens if you don't

[heiwa2001]

We have very good quaility health care in the US. Its not perfect, there is HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of cases of Medicaid abuses/fraud costing billions every year. This drives up the cost for everyone. Not to mention the BILLIONS lost to healthcare NEVER paid for by "illegals". Regarding switzerland, why not disclose what % of your income goes to pay taxes. Its somewhere in the ballpark of 40 - 50%.

[Licker1984]

We pay around 1.5 - 2 month salaries a year. Depends where you live.

Hello Robin & viewers of this video, I have a request and as this moving story appears to be a good place to reach the people I'm looking for, I hope it's okay that I post here.

I'm an actor & theatre practitioner in London, currently working on a verbatim project on the AMERICAN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM and needing willing participants to share their views & experiences. Please click my Channel for more info. I'm looking forward to hearing from you, Robin, or any page visitor. Thanks.

"we don't give a crap about you" ? That's a nice example of american spirit. Don't say "we," because you don't speak for all of us (thank goodness with that level of illiteracy).

Thank you for showing americans what the general reaction is overseas when they find out we don't have healthcare. Its embarrassing, and makes this country look stupid to the rest of the world.

[springlady80]

We don't give a crap about you. You don't live in america you don't know what goes on. My son is getting denied ABA therapy by the insurance company. He has autism once you get the help you need for them the insurance always wants to screw it up and say that's enough therapy and when they do this my son goes back to bad behaviour again. It's all bullshit.

[Shtaze]

WTF do you care and WTF do you know about American health care? Stick to within your own xenophobic borders. Viva Europa Socialista!

Bjeri me dore duke menduar per Michael Moore.

[YourNameHere1212]

your life is controlled by the government. Have fun in that country.

[heiwa2001]

Not true. look the info up, its easy to find.

[dafina78]

If do hope a substancial number of people listen to this self serving visionary, so that hard working Americans will no longer be afraid to take their sick babies to see a doctor, or watch an American die in an Emerency Room because no medical personnel would help her. God bless America

[yollam]

Everyone in Japan has health insurance, too. Any civilized country has universal not-for-profit health insurance. I'll never move back to the US for this reason.

[claytonredfield]

Sorry to bother you but just thought you'd like to know that our postings as a response to Michael Moore's plea do get a response. See our good news by going to you tube, typing my name in the search area, Clayton Redfield, and then going to the second choice down which has Michael Moore's picture above the words, SiCKO - Flint Couple Says Moore Saved Home

a statistical report reviewed in the movie Sicko discusses that Americans have more diseases and die younger than the people of England. And intuitively that seems very correct. It seems that the people in England are much more, in general, supportive of health creation through holistic, chiropratic, oriental, homeopathic, and other forms of health fostering forms of medical care.
