More on health care

In a previous post I may have strongly hinted we should model our healthcare system after Taiwan's. That wasn't my intention; I was simply passing on an article and agreeing with its contents. Perhaps we should model our healthcare system on the system in France, generally recognized as the best in the Western world (we're a pitiable 16th). Regardless, I think the time has come to move away from an employment-based system of healthcare and into a "healthcare as a basic right" system. What that is may be beyond this blog; maybe not.
