Most countries apart from the US? Really? Most of them?

A. It's not most. Not even close.

B. If you take the countries that do have socialized medicine, and add the criterion that the funding is not in constant jeopardy, there are very, very few countries that "manage it".

Most developed countries. In fact, I'd go as far as to call it a qualifier to be a developed country.
