> One the "better outcomes" is actually debatable due to a whole host of factors, including that American are generally less healthy not because of our healthcare system but because we have large amounts of high processed high carb food with little excersise which is not the case in the EU. Having low quality foods IS part of public healthcare spending. Regulating and controlling what foods are considerable fit for humans is within the domain of healthcare too. Taxing highly unhealthy foods to deter excessive compunction, for example, works wonders since there's either more money for healthcare, or less people getting so sick. Healthcare isn't just about covering the doctor's fee, it's also about reducing how much people need to go to the doctor or get sick in the first place.
