You're making my point for me. Why are the insurance companies to blame when the real problem is the incompetent government who is already getting most of the money? It's taking the money, it's spending the money, it's just not actually doing the job the money implies.
The key here is the per capita government spending is already the same or much more. Whining about NATO doesn't mean anything when the US is already taxing and spending the money. If the US spent significantly less public money on healthcare than other countries I could understand, but it's not.
Scale helps not hurts in this case. In Canada one of the big problems in healthcare is that much of the country is super remote and some of the lowest population density out there so there's a huge number of people who need a charter plane just to have a check up, and so many people are incredibly expensive to the system compared to a higher density country. Canada deals with scale by giving the money to provinces (and it's bigger than the US by land mass)
