But if you phrase it as, "will the US stay on the same path" - rather than whether we should stay on the same path - the answer changes. We almost certainly will stay on the same path. Because our health care system is 18% of our GDP, not the 7.6% of GDP that Australia was allocating to health care in 1984. There's just far more inertia behind the current system. And since we don't have a parliamentary system, more veto points as well.
Hurray for inertia, and lack of imagination, and lack of courage. Let's keep muddling along because someone won't like the change. If that was America, we'd still have segregated schools in the South.
