From the Paper:

"Those who do not believe that Taiwan is sufficiently similar to the United States may feel like the success of a national insurance program in Taiwan does not indicate that an American system would find similar success. Of course, the logical response to these objections is to point out that America and Canada are tremendously similar countries, but that Canada has had a nationalized health insurance program since the 1960s. (Krauss). In addition, many European countries, which share the same capitalist economic system as the United States, have extremely successful nationalized health insurance programs."
