Most of the healthcare expenses in this country are paid for by private citizens as 85% of the people are covered. FICA taxes fund Medicaid, Medicare, and SS so comparing what other countries pay is comparing what the private sector pays to what the public sector pays and that isnt a valid comparison. Who are rising costs bankrupting?
How you pay for it means very little. You either pay more, or you pay less. And they are valid comparisons. The issue is which costs more. The only factor is the cost.
