Not always. Many European countries have nationalized healthcare, yet manage to have better healthcare outcomes than the US even though they spend much less per capita.
The question isn't why _government_ leads to inflated cost, the question is why _American government_ leads to inflated cost.
- mhh__ 9y agoBetter healthcare outcomes? I think you mean access: For example, the NHS looks very good until you realise that the rankings include access; Based on case-by-case outcome alone, it ranks relatively poorly - certainly less than most people would guess. The US government spends about the same on healthcare as others do, the difference is in the amount of private healthcare spending.
