> while simultaneously providing a poorer quality of service at an inflated cost It seems to me from personal experience that the quality of service in US is exemplary. I'm not disagreeing with you that the cost is inflated, just I do not readily agree with you that the service is poor. Usually when I hear about a problem in the healthcare realm, it's not a matter of poor service, rather it's a matter of inaccessible service due to the high cost. It's usually this, or something having to do with state-run healthcare, such as Veteran Affairs, or healthcare provided to prison inmates.
