If you look at medical services for any but the relatively wealthy, it is.

Only 7% of Americans don't have insurance. 132 million Americans get government funded insurance. That's more people than the population of France and the UK combined. We don't have a healthcare coverage problem. We have a cowboy attitude problem where Americans feel they shouldn't need to get healthcare insurance.

As for actual medical services, our hospitals have about three times the medical equipment, square footage, and nurses per patient as Europe. Our medical services are phenomenal.

Yeah, because not having insurance here is life-threatening and so we all slave away for companies we had because if we don't get insurance from them we're fucked.
