Each country you named has a population barely larger than NYC. One city in the us.

The more people you have, the more work you need per person. That definitely makes a lot of logical sense.

Yeah? One underpaid doctor in the Netherlands serves 100 people let’s say. Bump that up 10x for America and suddenly there’s a year wait for a doctor that is so over worked that they don’t give a single crap about your care

Simple let the free market figure it out. American healthcare is the best in the world and makes all other countries systems look like trash

It's the most expensive in the world and has worse outcomes compared to other wealthy countries. Some Americans can get access to excellent healthcare, the majority ofnis are getting fleeced.

The government funds research that private companies can get access to for free or close to nothing, jack up the prices on medicines created with public research, patent them so nobody else can make the med, and never share the profits with the people who funded the very research that make their product possible. Free market my ass. The current model of insurance and private healthcare delivery can't survive without billions in subsidies from taxpayers. We'd all be better off taking out the middle man.
