This is very typical when you ask people in countries with universal health care what they think of their system. None of them who've experienced the US system view it as superior to that of their home country (or if any exist who do I've yet to encounter them). https://twitter.com/TheSciBabe/status/1157339761884852224 …

Even in Switzerland, which doesn't have universal care but has a quasi-privatized system, healthcare access is far superior. We considered submitting receipts to our US insurer, then learned we paid - IN FULL - LESS than our deductible. https://international.commonwealthfund.org/countries/switzerland/ …

I believe it. BTW, the Swiss and German systems were the inspiration for the ACA. Can you imagine how low the uninsured rate would be now if the ACA had passed with a public option and SCOTUS hadn't gutted the Medicaid expansion by ruling that states could opt out of it?
