I work for a living and prefer not to spend my productive hours following your right wing diatribes. You should try it sometime.

1/   Hospitals in Japan are all non-profit whether or not they are private or government owned.
2/   Japanese citizens are required by the government to have health insurance. Another way to say that MM, is
  "government mandate"
3/   When you give your "profit" back to your clients in the form of lower costs it means you do not make a profit.
This is another "government mandate" on the insurance carriers which are private but pay to clients thtough
  the government health service.
4/   All citizens are covered by insurance as "mandated" by the government.
5/   All citizens are required (There's that "mandate" again) to pay 30% of the cost for office visits, wellness services
and most outpatient procedures.
6/   The Japanese system is somewhere between the UK (most hospitals and Dr's work for the National Health
  Service and the government is the single payer of most medical costs) and the Canadian ( Each province
sets up its own system meeting minimum national standards, for profit private supplimental insurance is
available and most medical providers are not public employees).

Now, MM I would think you would be the first person in line to call the above SOCIALIZED MEDECINE if it was proposed for the US. Now WW made some correct observations about the character and self reliance of the Japanese people. My point was it is they demonstrate it is in fact possible for hard working and self reliant people to support a universal healthcare system guaranteed by the elected government. Sorry you disagree.
