I think Americans would do well to read what the actual citizens are saying about the countries that have tried socialized medicine. If you read the hype, of course Sweden will make it sound peachy keen, but everything I’ve read from actual Swedes is that it is awful. It is so ironic to me that Socialist policies are promoted in political circles as being designed to benefit the poor, when in truth, the poor are harmed the very most. One other thing that I found interesting in other research on Socialist Sweden: Every citizen pays a minimum tax starting with 27% for income tax but that doesn’t cover Social Security and other taxes. So with 50% of Americans paying no income tax at all, the Swedish model of socialism starts out by whacking the poorest right where it counts.
