Germany too was until recently regarded as the sick man of Europe? Along with France? Italy? Who else am I forgetting?

It's not a continent, it's a sick bay. Lemme outta here!

You can tell they're mollycoddled by national health insurance and rigid employment protection. Always off sick.

Yeah, pretty much any nation that did not follow US economic fundementalism was considered the 'sick man of....'. Of course the US has been a roaring success, so successful that the UK is expected to have a higher gdp per capita than the USA for the first time since the 19th century.
