I believe that there is a similar trend in u.s. education. There's a good article on this topic by slate star codex.

You have a link? Also I suspect US healthcare as well.

Maybe there's a negative price elasticity. People pick the more expensive university/hospital because it's more expensive, creating a positive feedback loop. Like w/ luxury items.

Not like luxury items, but agree with everything else.

Apparently the USA spends 6% of the GDP on education, which is ~OECD avg: https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/indicator_cmd.asp … For healthcare it's 2x (18% vs 8-10%): https://data.oecd.org/healthres/health-spending.htm … So there's a big difference between the two.

And for healthcare the govt part is the same ~8% as elsewhere and the private part makes all the difference (in terms of % of GDP).

of course that just probably reflects mandatory private insurance

Word. I don't know enough about education in Europe, but it's possible that the American and European systems are roughly equally inefficient. You may want to check out my pinned article for the graphs.

I read it a while ago, I liked it. They cost the same on average but in Europe there are more state subsidies (you pay through taxes) and the discrepancies between cheap/expensive good/bad are probably smaller. So you get more social mobility for the same inefficiency.
