Maybe not, I don't know how much it cost to educate an entire nation's doctors (and we are not talking loans we are talking outright payment).But what if we added up doctors education, herbal supplements, cramped waiting rooms, long waiting lists, rejected requests for treatment (like all of our cosmetic surgeries), no such thing as single rooms, plus most important that in America for just about any disease (except for lifestyle issues because we are fat slobs) one is far more likely to be cured here than there, etc. Remember that in America the average person who meets our government definition of poverty lives in better accommodations than the average citizen of Europe what would that say about the average hospital stay here versus there. The difference between 16% (us) and 11% (France), a mere 5%, could be made up quite easily. I for one would gladly pay 5% more to have a room with working equipment and better survival rates for just about any disease. (Though I don't think we are actually paying 5% more.)Here is an article about France's system. It is in crisis. the costs are rising too fast, the gov has taken to rationing care even more than before, they are closing whole wards, they have added co-pays, and in general are moving more toward a system like ours while some of us are trying to move us more toward a system like the one they are abandoning which has been in the red since 1989. Anyone can keep health care cost down when they operate in the red.http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124958049241511735.html
