“It just seems more expensive, but I doubt it is, if you were to do a financial audit of the respective healthcare systems and their sources of funding. All socialist nations use hidden taxes to conceal how much they screw over their citizenry.”
As I understand matters Swiss hospital capital costs are financed by property taxation. In Florida and Texas, property taxation for public hospital funding is fairly common.
There are various tariffs that are published. Circa 2010 I did research. I can do such research again, and post examples.
“On March 31, 2023, the Agency for Technical Hospital Information (ATIH) published the 2023 DRG tariffs and tariffs for other packages and supplements.”

Again, there is no justification for taking away people’s futures for one’s present benefit. You’ll never get me to see it otherwise. Property is a Biblical concept and a person’s future is the property of that person. Stealing their future is stealing from them.
It’s a question of dollars. Paying for socialism makes people poorer in Europe. While American property may be more severe, in some places than Europe, it’s a lot easier to get ahead monetarily in America than Europe. European socialism is meant to preserve a stratified society, where those who are poorer are kept poorer through regulations and removal of income for taxation purposes.
Costs are lower in the US, on practically everything, than Europe. The main reason is that America has lower overall taxes than Europe. People have the freedom to use their tax differential on healthcare if that is what they choose.
