The US spends more per capita on Healthcare than many countries with a full public health system, for worse outcomes. It's actually impressive if you look at it from a certain angle.

Well, yeah. The US doesn't have the same systems or levels of income tax in place.

But if a country did, it seems that they would want higher salaries so that they would have more resources to fund these systems.
