Where do you get "cheaper" from that? It certainly has "better" care for individuals ... at a price. Population health starts with urban design that forces people to walk.

The US has much worse health outcomes than other developed countries, and they pay more for healthcare than any other developed country. Running it as a for profit business results in Worse / Worse. https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/issue-briefs/2023/jan/us-health-care-global-perspective-2022 https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/issue-briefs/2...

  But your priors are different. The US is a very solipsistic society, which means that the quality of care that an individual can achieve always trumps the median health of the entire population: everyone is conditioned to believe that they will be the ones to achieve the highest rung, and those who don't manage it deserve their lower quality of life.

    If you're trying to say that a power station run purely for profit would mean the ultra-wealthy in society would have good power while everyone else can suffer with the crummy leftovers..... I think it's time you gave up.
