And which countries are those?

Dr. Jerry Frankel of Plano supports socialized medicine. He thinks that Medicare should be reformed to improve quality and lower costs and be extended to everyone. He doesn't give any suggestions as to how that can be accomplished other than to say that everyone will be given the option to buy it or stay with their private insurer. The catch in his plan is that if you opt to stay with your private insurer, you still pay for the Medicare. 

He says we can lower costs, improve care, and have no waiting lists -- just like other countries have done. Uhhhh, Dr. Frankel, which countries would those be?
