When Americans compare the cost of the Social and Capitalist systems they are not comparing like for like.
Social = Full Medical care no questions asked from cradle to grave. You name it's usually paid for or heavily discounted. This provides a better system for preventing illnesses before the occur.
Capitalist = Partial system. At it's best it's pretty impressive. I know from personal experience. At it's worse it tells you to go home and die. I also know this from family experiences.
If the Capitalist system was to provide what we with Socialised Medicine enjoy (without thinking) the cost would be crippling for most Americans.
So compare like with like when debating.
