Have it your way. American medical costs are reasonable and affordable. Why, they're actually cheaper than the medical costs of other countries! Nothing to see here; move along.
Better?
National health care hasn't worked in any other country, so why should the USA be any different?
Let's face it. We can't have national health care because it would be an utter failure. We have no idea how to run it, nor could we. We just don't have what it takes to make it work. Canada, Japan, Germany, Britain and France. They have it. And you know what happened to their societies, right? Complete and uttter chaos. Anarchy. War in the streets. The gibbering maniacal mumblings of crazed social welfare victims litters the air.
But America, we got it covered. We have some of the most advanced care in the world. If you can get into the system, that is. Otherwise, you're dead. Or you might wish you were dead. So, here's to America. The land where we don't need that national health care crap, because, hey, we're better than that. Our system is much better than anyone else's, and so cheap, too.
People will tell you, "OH!! But it's rationed!" "THAT SUCKS!!!! MAN!!!!" Yeah, it is rationed. Yeah, and sometimes, there ain't enough to go around so everyone can get everything they ever want - or need. But you do get some. Everybodygetssome. You don't get turned away. "Plan? What plan? Oh sorry, we don't service you, go across town." Imagine never having to hear that, again.
It's pretty obvious we can't handle it,though. Just like every other country that ever tried.
They all failed. Every one of them has caused rationing and costs the free market would have solved. They are ALL failures.

How about you prove that the "international federation of health plans" is truly an objective authority... Oh, wait, you didn't do that.
No, they do not. In NO CASE do insurance companies EVER have control over the supply or availability of any medical product, supply, or service.
