You have a point. Last time I looked, health care costs were very close
to 15% GDP. The rest of the industrialized world is around 10% and
under.
That is a major anti-competitive cost.

I'll take the US's health care system over any other health system in the
world. I can get the services I want when I want them rather than having
them be rationed to me.


It some countries, they're rationed, but not in other countries. Can you
provide examples of both categories, using the names of the countries?

Interrogate your own family, I don't answer to you.
