Sounds pretty similar to the rest of the "industrialised" world to me.
Except it works out far more expensive for Americans.

Somebody has to pick up the tab you run away from at the ER.

And you are paying for other people's health insurance, and the insurance companies profits, almost every time you buy something or pay a bill.

The fact that you are too dim to realise it makes the insurance companies rub their hands with glee.
