As the United States Congress and the President try to figure out how to make sure all Americans can get health care, it might be a good idea to study the health care system of Hoobah Boobah Land.
Hoobah Boobahns are among the healthiest people on the planet. There are many reasons for this. First of all, Hoobah Boobah Land is a low-stress society. People take their time in everything they do. They almost never raise their voices, or get anxious. The Hoobah Boobah Diet is very healthy as well. So, practically everyone in Hoobah Boobah Land has normal weight and blood pressure.
Transportation in Hoobah Boobah Land is very slow, so people aren't rushing around from one place to another, as in the United States and some other countries. Most Hoobah Boobahns walk to where they want to go, or ride the 3-wheeled bicycles that are only found in Hoobah Boobah Land (so, they get a lot of excercise). Or, they take a relaxing ride in a cart pulled by the ox-like animal known as a Bleegoingaak (see the post of 2/18/08 to see a picture of a one of these animals).
Since people in Hoobah Boobah Land don't really try to get rich, doctors are happy with being no wealthier than other citizens of the kingdom. Sometimes, they are happy just to get some chicken eggs, or butter, in exchange for giving check-ups. However, King Ralph VI has recently announced that, starting in 2 or three months, every citizen will get 500 Grzzz a year (Grzzz is the Hoobah Boobah money) to use towards doctor bills. Since all hospital visits are already free, and most doctor visits cost only about 20 Grzzz, you can now say that everyone in Hoobah Boobah Land basically will get free health care.
Ask your parents about how much they have to pay for their healthcare. I doubt it's for free.
To summarize, there are three basic reasons the Hoobah Boobah health care system works so well: 1. low-stress, healthy lifestyles 2. affordability of medical care 3. government cash payments to pay for doctor visits and treatments. Something to think about.
