I don’t know what you thought I was arguing, but my intent is to point out that things with NHS are cheaper because everyone in the healthcare chain earns less in the UK.
I never mentioned the US way is the right way, I actually think taxpayer funded healthcare is the way to go if we are going to force hospitals to provide care to anyone that shows up at their doors.
There is a lot of overhead from insurance companies that isn’t needed IF the US had taxpayer funded healthcare, but there isn’t, so they do serve a purpose of vetting a provider’s care and negotiating pricing.
