So, what's the hiccup in the US system?

Litigation and fear of litigation? Is that an issue in your system? A lot of our costs are in the huge settlements and in medical practitioners doing unnecessary procedures to cover themselves so they don't get sued.

It might also be that our medicine is not antiquated. New stuff is orders of magnitude more expensive than the marginally antiquated and everyone demands the newest stuff. That could account for much of the difference.
