>In any case the companies are turning profits in the billions of dollars which means Americans are overpaying for worse outcomes. Have you accounted for billions in extra taxes? I'm sure their system wastes plenty as well as ours. Not all insurance profits are "waste" either man. A lot of that "waste" profit funds individual retirement plans through the stock market. >What matters is outcomes, and Canadians live longer than Americans. You have yet to prove that they live longer specifically because of their healthcare, ir longer in general. Maybe they just aren't as fat, or the cold weather helps. >The fact of the matter is the US government can’t figure out how to get healthcare to people, so instead sells them excuses and propaganda for why not fixing the problem is actually acceptable. It's not their job to get healthcare to people. The US government does do healthcare in some cases but in general it is an individual problem and not the duty of the government. You can argue about whether it should be (with someone else!) but the government is not obligated to solve all your problems.
