Just as I thought, you're just talking about numbers on paper.

And of course I believe my own experiences over your theories, just as you would believe your own experiences over my theories.

Percentage of GDP is no way to measure something personal like health care. It's actually misguided, in my opinion, but that's not intended to be an insult, just a suggestion that you consider the quality of the health care to be more important than the price.

We are the richest country in the world, of course we pay more for health care.

I prefer statistics, but actually, my life experience also supports you. My look at the UK system up close and personal convinced me that single payer is a great way to go (as opposode to just logical based on statistics). I'd like to see it here, if it's possible.
