Who says their costs are really lower. They often "hide" the costs like France does so it appears lower. Governments will try to make it look like they are spending less than they are. But governmnts cant really hide the costs of health care in the private sector as well (and they don't want to)


And we do get better treatment in a variety of ways so that would account for some of our costs.


Theirs are not going up? The UK's costs are going up more than ours. In fact we are listed number 13 for how fast costs are going up.

One possible reason that some costs in gov run countries (like Canada) would not go up as much as ours is that the gov simply chooses to cut back on services.


But you couild read this about canadian costs rising:
