Since most of the other OECD states are representative democracies of one sort or another, and since pretty much all of them have some form of universal health coverage, if the US system's an improvement over any of those in other OECD states, I expect there are strong, popular reform movements in at least some of them looking to move their system closer to that of the US. Right? Not to improve their systems in other ways, but specifically to move closer to that of the US. Since that'd be a clear improvement if they just "get real".

I’ve raised this exact question and never seen an honest response. Why aren’t politicians in other OECD countries trying to make their system more like ours? Why aren’t their citizens demanding it?
