I am British but live in Germany and so I have fairly extensive experience of both these systems which are of a high standard and provide comprehensive care for half of the cost of the American health care system.
If you are rich maybe America gives the best health care in the world but overall the standard seems quite low to me from its results and very low for significant parts of the American population.
For instance Life expectancy in the USA is 2 years lower than the UK, costs are twice as high as in the UK , infant mortality is higher.

Why are health costs so high in America relative to the rest of the developed world without any real benefit in terms of health outcomes?
