Which are you asking for? "efficient" in the sense of efficiency, or "efficient" as in it actually works successfully?
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

And the tax penalty for those that want to buy their own.
Hmmm sounds like a good insurance plan is a good way to attract employees....

Do we need government for free health care?
There's no free anything, and no, we don't need socialized health care. Also, the Red Cross isn't nationalized. There's a difference between charity and socialism.Meryuma wrote:free health care

Indeed. Don't you know if you remove all regulations, there wouldn't be any cheating anymore? Delay of claims, denial of claims for vagaue reasons or just outright BS.
