Nice list, but as european I smell a bit of BS. For example no way that 3) is true. Health care is not FREE all over europe (even the governmental care costs), and to my knowledge pretty much all European countries have private sector health care alongside public.
Yes government helalth care costing less and having better outcomes then private meanas private is better. So if you think dying and wasting money is good then you like private helath careThe public health care system is pretty terrible. No accountability and pretty much no control for the patient. The level of service has been for me comparable to what you would expect from used cars salesman. It would probably be wiser to compare private HC in europe vs private health care in europe. Because pretty much everyone agrees that private is better. Not a surprise considering you get to choose things if you go private route. Don't like a doctor? Don't go there!
I personally think that it's better idea to give poor people enough money to afford health care. I have been poor, yet I think it's wiser to not get public care, unless you have some very common problems. Governmental care can not be as efficient as private, because there is just no way to organize it in a way that pleases everyone, also there is no competition which leads to major "attitude" problems and poor service. In fact in a way the worse service the public health sector gives you, the better it is for them.
I see so despite government care being better then private care you say govrement care cant be better.
Come back when youve entered reality
