Mr. Yakabuski gets some of the "think like an American" correct, but misses a major bullseye - economics.   Every national health care system limits the amount of health services somehow.... e.g. offering basic services with private extra coverage or delays in service/doctor care.     

American liberals, and especially Democratic politicians, hate to limit benefits or consider controlling the program costs in any manner.   Obama-care/ACA tried to offer high end  uber health care coverage to all immediately while ignoring all costs or the need for new taxes.   Millions in the U.S. were cut off from affordable catastrophic only health coverage and their doctors (e.g. a $2 million health policy, but the first $4,000 is paid by the patient) because it did not have all the features of Obama-care that were the "right" of all, and pundits declared "free, free, free!"   

Obama-care is another "compassion" welfare/social program by Democrats that ignores all Econ 101.
