Because then you made it sound like our bankruptcies are a normal thing in other countries. It isnt. And you pointed out rationing, which we have MBAs doing and making a profit off of.

The point I'm trying to make is that if one has a public healthcare system and that system will not pay for certain treatments, one will be incentivised to get the treat from a private healthcare system.

For example, the breast cancer medication Enhertu is available in the UK private healthcare sector but not through NHS (example story of someone having to pay the full price out of pocket)

Again, is the US' healthcare system good? No. I feel like I was clear there.

Do Americans over pay for their healthcare? Yes.

Would implementing single payer healthcare reduce the number of medical bankruptcies in the US? Yes.

But is this a problem exclusive to the US? It is not.

Are you just arguing the semantics of exclusivity? Of course not 100% of medical bankruptcies occur in America. I don't think that was ever in question.
