Mexico health care is doing very poorly [1] and they've switched to single-payer euro-style system recently [2]. India is switching to single-payer too [3]. Their current numbers don't look nice either.
I'm referring to the separate, private medical industry in Mexico, not the horrible state-managed medical system. But you're right; medical systems with heavy government involvement are usually bad.
But regular Mexicans don't go to those private hospitals. Actually Mexico is now introducing more gov involvement to fix things. They were much more lax before.
Btw, single-payer health care is going pretty well over there in Europe...
> What you propose will make it more expensive
Do you have any evidence for this, or are you just going to drop the claim and walk away?
I have some constructive evidence to the contrary, which I've already mentioned; the medical systems of Mexico and India.
> The US medical system is currently risk averse
Which is one of the many reasons that substantially deregulated medicine is a good idea.
