> France has low co-pays, but quite substantial co-insurance requirements
Not sure what you mean here. Do you mean things like le forfait hospitalier ? Which is like 20 bucks a day you're in the hospital (if your complementary insurance doesn't reimburse you). Usually you're at 80-90% coinsurance when you go to the hospital in the US with a top-tier insurance (which is going to run you ~1000-10000$ a day). Your source is also a 2003 document, which predates a lot of the current health crisis in the US.
> This report shows the U.S. compares quite well to say Germany
You're cherry-picking here: Germany is pretty well known to have lower wealth because of a prevalence of renting.
