“I’m not going to say that healthcare is more expensive in the US than Europe, because Europe uses the general tax base to fund healthcare through hidden taxes. If somebody could do an honest evaluation, it’s probably a lot closer than one realizes.”
Look about 45% of the way down:

USA 14.1% of GDP
Germany 10.9% of GDP
Australia 7% of GDP
“The range of reimbursable curative care services is defined by two coexisting positive lists/fee schedules: the Classification Commune des Actes Médicaux (CCAM) and the Nomenclature Générale des Actes Professionnels (NGAP).”

nice one, thanks !
You’d have to prove to me that European healthcare is funded only through direct taxation. No GST’s or taxes on chocolate bars or cars or homes, no general revenue taxes that get redirected towards healthcare. I find that questionable, because liberals are never honest about anything.
Then you have the problem of no children to fund future expenditures. Europeans killed their children to make healthcare affordable for them, consequently having to import replacements for their children. Those replacements are destroying the European continent and are not planning on being participants in the socialst experiment, beyond being users of the system. They will vote to get the European to pay for it all, however.
