> Yeah, the vast majority of us have healthcare, aren't really sick, and occasionally when we do get really sick, our insurance pays the bills. That's the case in most modern countries. As far as data is concerned, the U.S. performs poorly in many metrics. The risk to individuals in the system compared to other nations is atrocious. The per-capita cost is atrocious. And the actual health outcomes are not spectacular. I'm biased. As a Canadian I enjoy single-payer universal coverage and the freedom of not having to worry about private insurers and deductibles and copays and premiums and whether or not my doctor or hospital is covered or whether or not my insurer is going to fight me on something when my kid breaks his arm or what the health coverage implications will be if I switch jobs or start a business is totally worth the problems you tend to find in universal systems, in my opinion!
