I am always skeptical of these claims. We have a hybrid system for higher education which utilizes a competitive, private, for-profit education market, with heavy subsidies from the govt (given to the students in the form of aid). Look what it looks like, ever increasing prices.

Take our K-12 schooling system, again the same problem, somehow it works great for other racially homogenous European and Asian countries, but in America, we spend far more on public education per students, and get worse results.

So why is the belief that our healthcare system is going to look like Netherland's when our education system doesn't look like that?
