I don't think that was his point, to portray everyone else as perfect.
His point is, if most of the Western World can have basic coverage for
everyone, why can't the richest country in the world do better? Even
Cuba manages to do better (although it must have been a setup by
the Cuban govt. There's no way it's that good....is it?)
One answer, which I believe is spoken about in the movie, that I felt
was the honest one was, in many countries it's a feeling of community,
everyone pays, everyone gets taken care of. In the USA, there is
no sense of community in that regard, an every-man-for-himself
approach if you want. [The French are willing to riot over it, and do,
as he points out. Would you get that in the USA? How about Canada?
Alberta?]
