  Medicare, which is under state control, is larger than many other developed country's state-run medical systems. Before criticizing the US system, make a strong attempt to understand the underlying structure.

  The US is a big outlier in not having universal healthcare but in terms of government control it's really pretty typical with countries like the UK where the government runs health provision directly rather than just regulating and paying for it are the exception rather than the rule. I've worked for a company selling robots to French hospitals and that really isn't any different than selling to US hospitals.
