  • Decisions on medical treatment that are not dictated by health insurance companies
• Life choices
  • Profession

  • No major medical bills coming in the mail
  • No bankruptcy or loss of home due to major medical bills
  • No fear of how a child or a parent will get health insurance or will pay for medical bills
  • Little or no additional costs beyond what most people will pay, which is a few percent increase in the health care payroll tax in exchange for the huge savings of never paying premiums to health insurance companies
  • No restrictions on health care decisions that are defined by health insurance companies (see examples in the above list of health care decisions)

Cost?.

What is the cost for “peace of mind”? We will pay a MUCH LOWER cost per person than the average citizen currently pays! The U.S. pays an incredibly high 2.5 (250%!) times the average cost of other industrialized countries.

See a chart of comparison of the United States to six top performing countrires regarding cost.

Risk?

Compared to other countries, we will have the lowest risk of hardships and major medical bills and the best chance at establishing the lowest prices for drugs and equipment through negotiation. Why? Due to our large population. As a result, our health carefor all system will be the best in the world.

Personal Experiences of Many Americans

Personal note from Bob. I wish it was possible to speak with each of you to personally to communicate how I and many other Americans ... and many citizens around the world ... feel, based on our experiences. Words on a web page don’t seem enough to share with you how very strongly positive we feel about health-care-for-all and the peace of mind that it provides. The United States needs improved Medicare for All via single-payer health care.
— Bob Haiducek, Bob the Health and Health Care Advocate

Many Experiences Documented by Many Americans in Many Countries. In addition to my experiences, below, you can read the experiences of many Americans who live and work in other countries. Read their testimonials.

Deep Appreciation. Based our life experiences, we have a very deep appreciation for what peace of mind means regarding health care. Residents in most other industrialized, free-market countries in the world know what I am writing about when I write “peace of mind”. I have spoken to many people from many countries during the past 10-15 years about health care. They look at me in amazement; that is, they are dumbfounded that the United States has not implemented health-care-for-all years ago.

Here are some examples of where I got my appreciation:

• travels in other countries
• business trips in other countries
• medical emergencies in other countries
  • medical emergency (mine) in southern Germany due to eye-related emergency
  • medical emergency (my 3 year old son) in northern Germany due to dog biting him at his jaw
  • medical emergency of my wife’s cousin in England who was tested and evaluated for an entire day
• living in Canada for 4.5 years with my wife and our two sons, who were in early elementary-school grades
• discussions about this subject with people from other countries
  • All over. American citizens in other countries who had medical emergencies
  • Canada. Canadian friends with whom I’ve spoken since we moved back to the States
  • Canada. A Canadian family, friends in our town in the States. Those friends have a grown son had a medical emergency in the United States, after which he decided to move back to Canada due to the negative experience of huge bills and due to the need for future health care at a decent cost
  • Germany. American citizen friend who has lived in Germany for decades
  • All over. An example of my personal contacts: November 2007 at the International Youth Hostel in Chicago: one-on-one contacts with people from Hungary, Australia, England (2), Singapore, and Canada. ALL of these people are amazed that the U.S. has not established Health Care for All with non-profit national financing of health care.
  • France. Although I wasn’t there at the large restaurant table in France, I related to what that table-full of American citizens said to Michael Moore very roughly half-way (as I recall) into the movie SiCKO; during those 2 segments of the movie those Americans expressed peace of mind regarding health care. Their words, their facial expressions and their tone of voice made it very clear that they are highly satisfied with health care … outside of the U.S.

We can and will have peace of mind and new freedoms.
