“It's because most people in the US are brainwashed (note: I live in the US) into thinking paying ~$450 / month per adult for basic health insurance with high deductibles is a bargain because it "saves" them from $100,000+ hospital bills in an emergency scenario.” What are the other options? Most dont choose their health insurance based on belief in one system or another. I agree there are plenty in the midwest, with conservative views, who believe in conservatism to unhealthy levels, no thanks to the crack pots they listen to on the radio. The only person I’ve heard who felt the american healthcare system was the best in te world was in a speech by GW Bush. His speech was answered with silence because the audience was in such shock.
