"US health care system is the most economically inefficient in the world?"
Health care would not be nearly as expensive as it is if it was not as highly regulated as it is. If we just did some of the more basic de-regulating, we could lower health care costs for your average person by around 5000$.
There are lots of government regulations of the industry that contribute to artificially inflating the price of health care beyond that of what would be normal in a free enterprise system.
