An Accidental Experience With A Health
System That Seems To Work

By Dave Lindorff
2-26-10
 
As I write this article, I'm seated in a hotel room across from the train station in Geneva, Switzerland. There's a slight, dull pain in my forehead from a two-inch line of stitches that are pulling together a gash that runs diagonally across my brow, thanks to a stumble on a high step on a sidewalk in the rain last night, that sent me flying airborne headfirst into a round metal lamppost.
 
I have been covering the Fourth Congress Against the Death Penalty sponsored by the United Nations and the international abolition movement, which brought together anti-death penalty groups from all over the world, and featured talks and workshops with a number of people, several from the US, who had spent years and even decades on death rows before being found innocent of the crimes that had put them there.
 
In view of their agonies and torments, my own little injury seems rather pathetic, but it did give me a chance, as the debate over how to deal with America's health care crisis drags on in Washington, to see in person the workings of a non-socialist model of health care--but one that controls prices and also mandates (that word that strikes terror into every Republican heart) that everyone buy insurance.
 
The answer is, it works pretty damned well!...
