Semantics aren't arbitrary. Health care is what it is.
Since you dodged the implication of my question, I'll be more direct. You're asserting that France and the US actually pay the same, except that we have more cosmetic surgery. That cosmetic surgery makes up for the large different in what we pay according to the WHO. Do you have any evidence to suggest that 5.1% of our GDP and $2,730.00 per capita is taken up by cosmetic surgery? If not, then it is in fact you who has arbitrarily ruled. It would seem, lacking any figures, that you're pulling that assumption from thin air.
