Other places can only afford universal healthcare to begin with because their healthcare sector is not nearly as corrupt or shackled by a huge amount of government regulation that was only put in place here for self-serving reasons. It's not about the model of provision, it's about whether the sector itself is sustainable. U.S. healthcare is doomed by its vast spiraling costs even after controlling for its supposedly higher quality.

Healthcare is not corrupt. Insurance companies are corrupt.

And regulation is lacking in Health Insurance and enforcement is lacking in healthcare. (So many doctors that have committed malpractice just switch hospitals.

Healthcare costs are high because of insurance companies and private equity, not doctors and hospitals.

So please stop with these right wing baby bird food regurgitation.
