Americans are over 300 million people, and like Europe we are not homogenous.
And many Americans believe European healthcare, education, and infrastructure are far superior to the U.S.
The problem is that despite Europe being far more efficient at health, education, and infrastructure spending it also has a wide range of policies. So it's difficult to determine which policies are driving the increase in efficiency and which aren't.
- coredog64 6y agoThere’s no such thing as “European healthcare”. European countries (and I’m going to ignore Brexit and include the UK) approach provision of healthcare in a unique way. For example, the UK has the NHS, Switzerland has insurance mandates, and France has strict regulation of private insurance companies.
- JamesBarney 6y agoYeah this was my point.
- mschuster91 6y agoYet all of Europe has one thing in common: people don't go bankrupt over surgeries because 99.99% of people have an insurance.

- JamesBarney 6y ago>Americans are absolutely, utterly, unable to imagine that the way they do things is not the best. It's incredible to watch from outside. Treats Americans like they all have the same beliefs, i.e. homogenous.
