We theoretically have lower taxes in the US. But when we look at the additional cost of health care (including the "oops" charges of copays, coinsurance, deductibles, and other out of pocket charges) as well as Social Security and FICA and then state local and real estate taxes, are we really paying that much less in taxes?
And what are we receiving for out money? Our system that does not cover 20+ percent of the population and probably does not adequately cover another 10-20 percent of the population. There are things that capitalism does well, but apparently it is not the ideal funding model for health care.
