What makes you think the US health system is of a superior quality to that of any other in the world?

  Nope. The GP asserted something without evidence so I am engaging with that same standard. What makes you think "every other developed nation" has higher quality (and single-payer) healthcare systems?

    Again, every other developed nation has roughly the same outcomes as the US, but at a much lower cost per person. And a substantial portion of our population has no access to health care, which is not true in those other countries. This is not a policy prescription or advocacy for anything, it's simply factually describing the situation.

  In my opinion, more innovations (which the rest of the world’s public systems do benefit from), better customer service, better patient care (far fewer rude or abusive nurses and doctors), higher standards (quality of facilities and attention to detail and time spent with patient), flexibility (between providers, in scheduling, and even in the care/procedures you receive), etc. Oh and the ability to receive the care you are willing to pay for at all, instead of being denied. I do think there are lots of flaws too but feel they’re addressable with targeted legislation instead of some massive change.
