If you are interested in HC systems, I recommend you check out the Netherlands' systems. If nothing else, it's at least a very interesting approach in the more socialized category.
I have a link to a movie from the NL ministry explaining&advertising the whole thing: http://www.minvws.nl/en/themes/health-insurance-system/the-new-health-care-system-in-the-Netherlands-video/

Interesting you should site the Netherlands health care system. It is the only one I can speak about other than the US the Canadian. My best friends are Dutch and when one of their mothers became ill, she was refused (in Holland) the care she needed because of her age. In Holland they were not allowed to pay for service. My friends took her to Germany for treatment but by the time she receive care in Germany it was too late and she died.

This sounds pretty similar to RomneyCare, which of all of the universal health care systems, I would like the best. In fact, Mitt Romney is the only American official to have sucessfully implemented universal health care in the United States. I wonder when Michael Moore will do a documentary on that.
