Not to make a point in the overall healthcare funding discussion but cancer mortality is lower in the US.

Which way are the immigrants flowing? If European Joe is better off than American Joe it should be a net flow to Europe, no?
And I’ve seen way more people walking around with military weapons in Europe than I ever have in the USA - to be fair, they were the literal armed forces of the country, but still exceptionally weird to see as an American.
In the U.S., a cancer diagnosis can lead to bankruptcy, while treatment is free (or close to free) in most EU countries. Education is largely free as well, and you don't see people walking around armed like they’re in the Marine Corps. So, I'm not sure what benchmark we're using to measure this.
