[quote=briansd1]flu, I don’t disagree that the US economy if facing great challenges but it’s not because of health care reform.
I actually believe that health care is part of the reforms that we need to building a more competitive economy.
Like ocrenter posted before, a single payer system such as they have in Taiwan is business friendly.
I’ve read ocrenter’s blog since the beginning and I agree with him on housing as well as on health care. 50% off or Year 2000 house prices and a single payer health care system. Bravo!![/quote]
I think what you don’t realize is Taiwan/China’s government is different from the U.S. They can actually afford to pay for the bills. Their tax rates are lower, and in general, their citizens do a much better job of “saving”. Us, on the other hand, we’re piss poor, have a low savings rate, and spend money regularly we don’t have.
