Of course no one had in fact a few of the interviewees were surprised at the question! Why should anyone go broke getting health care they wondered?The full program

But I noticed there was one question that was never asked:
"What are your tax rates?".
As a side note, I know a nurse in Japan who is participating in the overhaul of the countrys' nationalized health care. It seems that the system is bankrupting the nation. Guess which country they're looking at for their future model of providing health care?
America.
