Health Care


Health care is seen as a big necessity in most if not all countries due to no country wants all its people to be sick and die.  American health care for a long time was a monument to what health care should be but in more recent times German health care has taken over as the steeple of great health care.  Compared to America Germany pays a fraction of we do for health care and everyone gets it whereas, up until Obama, we paid a lot for just ourselves and if you didn't pay, you didn't get it.  Now that America has Obamacare everyone has to get health care no matter what.  I think it is good that everyone gets health care but it is also unfair because some employers won’t pay for it and it is, for some, too expensive to pay for it alone.  The German system, however, is a little more flexible in the fact that if you make more than a certain amount of money than you have to get private insurance because well frankly you can afford it.  Now that makes more sense to me.  I like that if you make enough money for your own insurance that you pay for your own insurance and not make you employer do it.
