It's a lot easier to *care* for 4.5M than 300M people.

You do know that every "first world" country in the world except the
U.S.has universal health care, don't you?
No sense dwelling on 4.5M when the real number is many hundreds of
millions. None of those many countries are going bankrupt as far as I
know.
My wife wasn't too happy about the value of the dollar on her recent
trip to Poland though.
Anyway, you can google universal health care, and find that wiki has a
pretty good overview of the different systems.
Pick what suits you.

But what is the quality of the universal health care offered in other
countries? I personally know several Canadians that come to the US for
treatment that they would have to wait what they consider an inordinate
length of time for in their home country.
