Perhaps, but it seems an overriding indicator of dysfunction that the
US spends 16% of its gross domestic product on health care, and the
NEAREST ones only spend about 7%! (There's a fairly tight cluster of
Canada, Germany, Japan, and Sweden spending 6.5% to 7.5% of GDP on
health care.)
Sure, all health care systems have their problems. But I'd opt for
one that has less than 1/2 the per-capita cost any day.
US health care: "it might be expensive, but at least it's slow,
inefficient, and only serves the upper 80%!"
