It's pretty simple why the US spends so much. Profit. No other civilized country makes profit from health insurance. Not one.
We do. End of story.
As long as we want to continue having rich people make profit from the sick, our "health insurance" will always cost more than everyone else's. No matter how good Barack Obama is at giving speeches or how good Glen Beck is at crying like a baby.
