And the US system also seems to have significantly worse outcomes overall.
Unlike many of the above countries. In the US you can get that surgery you need in a week or so. You pay for service.
Stay healthy and your costs will be low. Why do you feel that your fellow citizens should pay for your health care in the form of higher taxes?? No one seems to want to take care of themselves of their families. A socialist style health care system in the US would be a disaster for everyone except the lefties who forced upon us. They would still receive very nice care.
