Sorry - edited my post to make clearer the fact that I'm not saying the US's healthcare system is good. I just think that comparisons with other countries are futile. My comment was intended to be a general one about the way politics works in the US.

The countries in the EU which is 400mio serms to be handling this ok and thats even with national laws. You might say the realpolitics will nok make it possible but its not a scale problem but rather a political one.
