Go to Vancouver and just check out the huge delays in cancer diagnoses, therapy
Yes, their system is cheaper, sing,e payors and horrible care.   Months in pain to get a knee. Operation.   
Go to London.  They now have two systems.   Average person waits in long lines to get Any care
The rich get immediate higher level care because they pay to avoid the system

I agree ours needs cleanup on administrative overcharging ( Hmsa?) and legal costs, but let's not become either of these horrible systems.
