"You have 12 very similar systems with a cost of 50 cents. You have one very different system with a cost a $1. From that you can't logically guess that the 'very different' system is more expensive????"

Lets compare this to income US tax receipts. In 2005 the top 1% of taxpayers paid over 39.5% of all taxes while the bottom 50% paid just over 3%. So by your logic the top wage earners need to emulate the income generating habits of the 50% that paid the least.

You keep trying to ignore that the US system is paying for nearly all of the medical research in the world. If you want to change the cost of US health care you would have multiple times the impact if you could induce the free riders to pay part of the costs they are avoiding.
