We are also very far behind in the tax rates too. Calling the UK (or Canadian) medical care "free" is pure bullshit unless you are indigent because otherwise you are paying out the ass in taxes for your "free" medical care.
The "safety net" in the U.S. is that if you go to a hospital emergency room they have to take you whether you can pay or not.
