In the US we ascribe much higher value to freedom of choice & markets, etc. We have elected to take the good (driving a disproportionate share of medical progress) with the bad (twice the cost for worse outcomes).

As a counterpoint, I'm from the US and I completely disagree with this. I never ascribed any such value to the "free market", especially when it comes to health care.
