Are you ashamed to live on this earth with most of Europe which waited nearly 10 years to buy into proton radiation therapy after the US adopted it? For nearly a decade there were more therapy machines in my tiny low population poor state than all of the UK.

With a much less healthy population the US sees significant cancer and heart disease treatment successes over most of Europe. The US may pay quite a bit more for these successes, but it's not exactly black and white on which is better. There's a reason the top five cancer centers in the world are in the US.
Edit: Just realized my mistake. You are fine with trickle down healthcare in Europe, but are not fine with it in the US. There was absolutely nothing to be gained by engaging with someone so openly biased. My bad.
