Let’s see if any other countries go to our type of system

We’re more likely to go to theirs

I worked in health care planning at the VA for over a decade as a Geographer. You can't compare our system to the European countries that offer universal healthcare for a multitude of reasons but the biggest reasons are our population, amount of immigration both legal and illegal and most importantly our size and rurality as compared to our European counterparts. If we tried to implement universal healthcare you'd be asking rural and highly rural communities to pay into a system they do not have access to.
