First off, my post wasn't advocating for or against public healthcare. My point was purely that IF we have public health care this should be part of it. It should also be part of private insuarance, as well. If either public or private insurance is inflated unneccessarily in any way, we should try to reduce the inflation. This is one way of doing so.But since you asked, it's particularly clear that health care costs in countries with UHC are NOT inflated, at least compared to us. Every year, America spends far more money per person on health care than any other country, and in exchange we have one of the lowest average life expectancies in the developed world.
