Even is it was 13 on each side it would be way to low for all other factors to cancel each other out, so they can reasonably be ignored (every country in the world would probably be too small of sample, there are a lot of other factors and a couple of hundred is not a large sample). You have a whole bunch of countries that are socially, demographically, and economically (give or take) similar. All have the same health care payment system except one, and the one pays double for health care. Not 10% more, not 20% more, not ever 50% more. You can't nuance away 100% more. Would you nuance yourself into betting on the Miami Dolphins against the New England Patriots?
