Hurray,
If those countries are better than US then why don't all people go there? Why students chose to study in US than those countries?
Please don't talk to me about Universal Health Care. Just go to US-Canada border, they have to wait for days to see a doctor and Government tax them more too. Some people even have dual citizenship just to get US healthcare.
Most non-emergency surgeries will require wait times. These wait times may put the patient at risk while they wait for a surgery or their condition may deteriorate as they wait. Those that need priority care make the wait times for others very frustrating. Seniors, those with life threatening conditions, and other urgent cases will be looked after first while others can sometimes wait a long time.
If I am making 100K/Year by working with my a$$ off then I certainly wants better healthcare than those people who do not work or who work 20K/Year. If there is no incentive of working hard then what's the purpose of working hard.
I am not saying US system is best. Yes it needs lot of improvement and changes are coming. And I am also very hopeful because changes are happening to improve it.

I can talk bad things about each country that you have mentioned above.

All I am saying is other countries systems are no better than US too. If there is a simple rule of success then everyone would have followed that rule, isn't it?
