I never suggested otherwiseWell, you did say that "The quality of health care provided in the United States is superior to the rest of the world". ;-)
IMHO the quality of care in the USA *is* excellent. But it is also excellent in Europe, especially in the wealthy central parts.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
