The key difference is that foreign health insurance plans exist only to pay people's medical bills, not to make a profit. The United States is the only developed country that lets insurance companies profit from basic health coverage.

I had no idea. I assume this must include countries that have fully socialized health insurance, and other countries like Germany where all of it is privately owned up and down. And to think, so many of them do so well even when they aren't set up to make a profit.
