I'm pretty happy to have moved back to the US from Italy for a number of reasons, but the health care system isn't one of them. It's way, way too expensive for what it delivers: just look at costs as a percentage of GDP. It was pretty bad before, and hasn't improved a lot with this reform.

Indeed. The US has the highest cost of healthcare as a percentage of GDP, with worse outcomes compared to most other first world countries.
