And in Canada.

And even in some degree in Cuba, but they dont count cause they're commies, right?
Do me a favor - Tell me the benefits of Medicare and how it works. Then, tell me the cost of Medicare relative to the percentage of people it covers. Tell me if Medicare is sustainable and what impacts Medicare/Government have on its recipients and communities when it doesn't get the appropriate funding, resulting in payout cuts.
Also, I'd like to know on what grounds you say the health care systems in other countries are better; WHO? When you're done with that, could you list how much health care in those countries costs (annually) and also list their total taxation rates relative to our own for someone who is making... eh, about $50,000(USD)/Annually. Go ahead and cite mortality rates, quality of life, ER wait times and whatever else helps prove your point.
Why? I don't wanna compile the numbers myself...
