You guys aren't lucky...you're SMART!
Things are the way they are here in the US because it might cost the insurance companies and drug companies a penny or two to move to a single-payer (goverment) system. Never forget, in the good ol' USA, the only thing that counts is the bottom line...period. If you're ever confused as to why the United States adopts a particular policy, just follow the money!
