I think it's a little bit of faulty analysis to say that "We have the best specialized care in the world, and it's due to the fact that we don't have a nationalized health care service." I mean, it might have played a small role at the start, but there's so much more to it, like our premier medical schools, America's innovative spirit, the country's reputation for attracting the best and the brightest.
I don't think any of those other reasons would suddenly become invalid if we made the switch to a national system.
