They never let their health care industries grow to be 10% or more of their economies - or have 10% or more of their workforce be in the health care sector - and they never let their medical service providers raise their rates to the kind of levels we have here in the first place. Once you've got a system where so many people would have to be economically hurt in order to balance the books in a switch, it becomes politically hard to make the switch.

All true, albaby, but that simply argues that the current way we do health care in this country is unsustainable. At some point, perhaps as a result of Trump’s chaotic approach to things, it’s going to crack. In fact, it may have already cracked.

This is not a problem to be viewed in isolation. Health care is only one element of a system being stressed.
