Plain truth shouldn't be interpreted as smug.

It's not an apples to apples comparison though. The US can't "just implement" the same health care systems that are up and running in other nations because we differ from a those nations in a lot of ways. PBS NewsHour sums up a few reasons here[1].

That being said, our current health care system is broken and needs to be addressed. I'm not convinced ObamaCare is a good solution, but at least the issue is being tackled.

How about it's a silly, shallow argument. Want to fix any problem? Copy another country's solution!

It completely ignores the cultural and political hurdles that are involved.
