There are advantages of insurance based healthcare systems - the primary one being innovation.
It's no coincidence that the US has the largest dug companies at the cutting edge of research.
I'm not saying the US system is good by any stretch, but it has its advantages
Edit: we should also be careful with the data here - is the reason the US has a lower life expectancy a direct result of its healthcare system? I imagine theres a load of other factors such as lifestyle and diet that are more important
