Name one country that is more advanced in the healthcare industry (NOT how it's paid for).

Last time I checked, all of the OECD countries had lower rates of maternal death as a complication of childbirth than the US, with the possible exception of Mexico and Turkey.
I worked with a guy who died of sepsis from an untreated tooth infection. Pause for a minute and think about how painful that untreated tooth infection was, before it got bad enough to roast his digestive system and his brain. Hard worker, but he was considered low skilled. Our rates of death from dental disease are also some of the highest in the OECD.
A few shiny machines that they don't have in Scotland are not impressive to me. 
We have the medical field to prevent the deaths that are preventable. Not to impress people with gadgets.
