Bear in mind that a bunch of Americans have been sold on public single-payer healthcare as the solution to the problems with their healthcare system based on the amount the UK spends on the NHS after all those cuts (which are more like spending not increasing at the same rate as demand). Also, one of the big cost savings is that medical staff are paid an awful lot less in the UK than the US.

Czechia and Romania do not, however, have US-style insurance market.

There is state provided insurance and none of the US horror stories ever happen here.
