Sorry for being so direct about the arrogant part, in fact I am not German, but have the same language, but we do not get along well with them due to what you mentioned.

It was rather pointed towards the fact, the this time needs quick heavy changes, and that there will be no space for any personal idealistic prospectives.

To the health care:

I do not know about it in Canada, in central Europe it works quite fine, and I dont feel that I am not treated fine.

Maybe at some point it will not be as good as the one in the states, but everybody will be sure to receive 98% of the possible medical treatment. since this risk is spread over all industries and all people, the threat of a single collapse in one industry is very unlikely. No one, simply no one can not be without it. it costs approx. 30% of net Wage, with max. of approx. 7000$/month as calculation baseline.

For a general baseline - from net wage to full cost for corporation, people with low income have approx. 70% additional cost, people with higher wages up to 100%. Highest tax rate is 50%. We drive BMW and Mercedes and have beautiful old style high cost decorated towns.

For US perspective, just call it a medical fund of fund of funds being operated by an NPO NGO.

I read a lot about the greed thing here, maybe the rich US got a little to rich and too greedy.
