Demand is also "artificially" driven up by the American diet and lifestyle.

If the preventables (e.g., Type 2 Diabetes) were prevented, otherwise mitigated (less sugar!) then the resources / system could focus on real disease.

The issue with the USA is it wants its cake, it wants to eat it, and expects to pay less for consistently making unhealthy choices.

Sure but most other countries are on track to have the same diet and lifestyle health problems as the USA. They're running a few years behind us but they'll catch up eventually.

Germany doesn't.

I can think of plenty other European countries.

Germany has a high rate of obesity just like most comparable countries.
