Subject: Re: Witnessing the end of Europe's welfare state_
The data has been shown, repeatedly, that western European countries offer better health care than the US, at lower cost.

People live longer in Europe because the average person is wealthier. The elderly get less care in Europe, making the care less expensive.

America is a race-based medical cost conscious country. It is not just race, but a very disturbing idea that the other guy is a cost. It is like trying to hit your right hand as hard as hell with a hammer, but making sure the hammer can get to full force first on your left hand.
