The Americans don't have a system, but a cluttered, ransacked hierarchy of administrative systems whereby the vast majority suffer from overpriced, and overextended care.
We talk about the Mayo Clinic as if Joe Blow with his assistant manager job at Walmart can walk in and get the best experimental cancer treatment. Nope, Joe Blow dies of mediocre chemotherapy in some forgotten corner while his family tries to figure out how to get Medicare to cover the balance, and pay for groceries in the same month.
What a terrible joke of a comparison between our excellent (and still overstretched) national healthcare, and their nightmare poorhouse/mansion excuse.
