I have faith in the Swiss, they know how to run shit, private pays for public basic, in return, profit is allowed for those who want more.

The flaw in Obamacare? Didn't make the private pay for the public basic, so no cost controls.
The Swiss seem to have nearly everything figured out Unfortunately, I don't think its scalable to a mutlicultural mega-nation
The Swiss have what Obamacare should have been, and it's a notable upgrade on what you have now, in terms of both quality and price. It'll scale far better than Obamacare does, that I can tell you.

Freeing up the private sector to do it's thing, while taxing the private health care, to pay for the public option, is the way to go. Scale won't change that, so on this one, look to the Swiss.

Yankee OWGs, maybe. Round here, OWGs can only be tamed by total thermonuclear strike on the mountains.

Yep the Swiss. Their public transportation is great too.

The area of Switzerland is 41,285 km2 or 15,940 square miles.

The U.S. is approximately 3,797,813 square miles. If you subtract out Alaska, Hawaii and the territories, then the contiguous United States is approximately 3,119,885 .

A few tweaks here and there, no doubt, but having the private health care pay for the public option is the way to go. America pays the most and gets the least bang for their buck, it's not that hard to improve on that, it really isn't.

Yeah, that's the only way to go globally, but the rest of Switzerland is pretty specific to Switzerland, and if that is what liberals like, they should be made to go to Switzerland to get it rather than try to pound that peg into America's hole.
