I chose to compare the United States (U.S.) healthcare system with Germany. I chose Germany because I know very little about this country‚ especially its healthcare system. The biggest difference I noted is that Germany has a universal healthcare system‚ whereas the U.S. does not. The people of Germany contribute 8% of their earnings towards healthcare.

Tocqueville was amazed at how religious Americans were compared to Europeans. People in churches tend to have a feeling of civic duty.

For example‚ Germany was a heavy contributor to World War I and an even bigger contributor during World War II. In addition‚ Germany was also heavily involved in the Cold War. These
