169. Germans are not exactly poverty stricken by their tax load, the way people here are when
they face catastrophic medical bills and are forced into bankrupcy.

Europeans are not exactly storming our shores in order to get in on the "deal" of private health care in the U.S. Why aren't we seeing boatloads of Germans, Swedes and French on our shores, looking for our health care system?

You know the answer. You weren't used to the rate of the tax, but the Germans have figured out a way to live with it and live well. I can't argue with that.
