Well, in the US, per capita government spending on health care is already higher than any other country in the world.
Government in the US already spends more on health care per citizen than any country with National Health does. Our system is so inefficient, that the amount spent by business and individuals is absorbed by inefficiencies, and the net result is less efficacious health care than some countries provide at one tenth the cost.
