alt Hacker NewsLook no further than the UK, with 24 month waiting lists, the shunning of experimental treatments (many high profile kill decision cases) and skyrocketing costs.
In the UK, a brain surgeon is paid less than the General Manager of a single Buc-ees Gas Station location in the United States. Absolutely diabolical.

Why not take a look at Medicare in the US instead? The US healthcare system has way more money than the UK, so comparing to UK is not meaningful.
The US, we ration too. We just do it in the most cruel way possible where the working poor doesn't get access to health care, because they can't afford it, and just lives with preventable and easily treated conditions until they die sooner and more miserably.
