That's all the time I have before going to work here, but the point is clear, hopefully. Note the details of how much public vs private funding makes up each country's system, and especially note cost of healthcare as expressed by portion of GDP. Said another way: note that the lower few countries on this list of links do incorporate private insurance but in a far, far more intelligently and compassionately limited way than we do in this country.

I simply have never heard an argument about how the current health care system in this country is A) worth it compared to more modern approach consistent with economically powerful western countries, B) a more efficient use of the money it costs here at an UNBELIEVABLE 17.7 PERCENT of GDP but wherein medical bankruptcy is not rare with serious diseases or simply bad luck about what town you are in when you have a serious and urgent medical event, let alone all the more sadly boring examples of insufficient access to care, or C) unattainable by enough people in this country.

Hell, let's drop your vaunted Switzerland's numbers in to compare: with their compulsory purchase of private health insurance, they are the second highest in the WORLD. Want to guess which country they are second to?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Switzerland
