It's possible I have been misled by media, but equally possible that you have also.  If 15% of the population being uninsured is an acceptable figure based on someone’s standard, I won’t argue with it.  It’s just that my own standard is higher; I think all citizens are entitled to a reasonable standard of health care.

Certain services are better delivered by the private sector.  Others are more suited to the government.  In my mind, these include such things as roads, schools, and health care.  

In terms of the figures I cited, no, they don’t drill down into medical tourism.  They are just per capita figures supplied by the World Bank.  I don’t pretend to know how many medical tourists enter the US each year, but I don’t believe it is in the millions.

All that said, each of us is entitled to an opinion.  These are not simple issues with cookie-cutter solutions. And I believe there has been a certain amount of misinformation disseminated on both sides.
