I Didn’t Know This (about Japan and Germany)
Asymmetrical Information (HT Instapundit) busts a persistent myth:
Contrary to conventional ignorance, at large Japanese and German companies, “workers ….. get their health insurance via joint contributions from employeer and employee, just as they do in the United States. Big corporations in both countries also have pension schemes, just as in the United States, and higher social security contributions.”
I knew about the true social security and pension situations, but conventional ignorance had me on the healthcare part.
