> I would predict rest of the world will move to an American model, based on lowering fertility rates and demand from people who cannot afford to pay for healthcare exceeding supply of healthcare.

The US pays more per capita for healthcare than most of europe. Why do you believe that lowering fertility rates—leading presumably to an increase in the proportion of the population needing access to healthcare due to age, and a similar decrease in the amount of tax payers—would lead to a shift towards a US-model that costs more overall?
