Can you be a bit more specific with what you mean by "collapse"? When we talk about a bridge or a building collapsing, we're talking about a very obvious and immediate mode of failure. Are you using "collapse" to mean "noticeable degradation"?
FWIW, the European nation I'm from (France) is definitely not doing OK on healthcare and public education (and debatable on infrastructure). Hard to compare with the US 1:1 in any case, but I'm not sure I'd designate either as a collapse.
