@pdchapin - We’re 6-8th in per capita income. The socialist countries are way below us. The capitalist and oil rich countries are ahead of us (Norway = 5th largest oil exporter, 3rd largest natural gas). So much for your theory.
Health care costs money - they pay it in the form of beaucoup taxes. …and their healthcare is worse, they have to wait weeks-months for services. It’s why Natasha Richardson died from a simple head injury in Canada and they tried to save her by helicoptering her to the US.
