In any event, you admit that (or unable to argue against) that Europe has an economic advantage by providing public healthcare. Instead of looking at other, unrelated factors, you should ask yourself how can America improve in this area. |
Actually all rank below the US by quite a bit... thanks to the chart you so helpfully provided. 
So countries like Great Britian, Belgium, Denmark and Switzerland all still are disadvanaged compaired to the US.
Though yeah, public healthcare does help. It's one of the things that hurt the autocompanies.
They had Europeon labor standards more or less, yet also had to pay for healthcare and such.
I think what you fail to realize is that the Obama plan makes this WORSE for America. Since employers actually have to pay a tax on the healthcare benefits they provide... as do the workers who get it.
