Who has the better health care system: The USA, Europe or Japan?
TOKYO, July 17 (Xinhua) — Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) decided Wednesday to draft by September legislation to allow organ transplants from brain-dead donors under 15.
According to Kyodo New, the country’s current Organ Transplant Law limits brain-dead donors to those aged over 15, a restriction which forbids surgery such as heart transplants for children.
The number of Japanese child patients who go abroad to receive heart transplants has been increasing …
in the UK, they won’t do transplant on patients over a certain age,
General surgery total 126,537, 0-13 weeks 95,101 , 13-26 weeks 31,319
Urology total 56,253, 0-13 weejs 44,627, 13-26 weeks 11,277
Cardiology total 26,426, 0-13 weeks 22,051, 13-26 weeks 4,264
Europe by far! Particularly up north in Scandinavia.

"Europe" is two dozen countries and they are all different.
But countries like the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland have superior health care.

europe f course
children die more frequently than 36 other countries in the usa
no you shouldn’t do transplants over a certain age , nor do they in the usa. its too dangerous and waste of a rare organs on someone with low chance of survival
if you knew more about our medical system you would not embarrass your self with your ignorance
even if you watched house you would understand this , free your self from ignorance dont watch fox

I don’t know much about the Japanese and US systems, but as much as people in Europe moan about the national health service I will defend it to the hills. It’s not perfect, sadly there have to be priorities because the money and resources are finite. But you don’t have to worry about not being able to afford care if you become ill. Especially something life-threatening such as cancer.

How comes loads of old people get transplants in the UK then? I work with someone who should have retired (they want to keep working) who has recently had a kidney transplant.
Anyway, back to your question, Europe has loads of different healthcare systems, each nation having its own system.
I am always amazed how many Americans seem not to be aware about the real healthcare issues relying instead on FOX and other sources to spread lies about the healthcare system of the USA and those abroad. I mean, if healthcare in nations with universal coverage is so bad, why do they keep it?
Obama wants to make insurance more available to all and change the system so that it gives the American people value for money [1]. He also wants change so that the insurance companies find it harder to get out of paying for treatment. The system he is proposing looks similar to that which works in Taiwan where private companies are involved in providing healthcare [2].
Obama campaigned on reforming the healthcare system. He said he wanted to make insurance more available and he was elected by the American people to do this [3].
FACT - the US has higher death rates for kids both for kids aged under one and those under five than western European countries with universal health coverage [4].
