Yeah better results for the majority, but thats misleading, because many here cant afford healthcare. Those that can afford good healthcare get better results HERE than they do in Germany. So healthcare is better here at the highest level than in Germany. I's not a coincidence that billionaires fly in from all around the world for treatments in the US and not Germany.

I'm not sure where you got your information from but wealthy US citizens going to clinics in other countries is fairly common.  Costa Rica, for example, which was famously endorsed by Rush Limbaugh.  Some of the most prestigious hospitals in the world are in Europe and, surprisingly, southeast Asia.  

Even some US insurance companies are sending patients overseas because they can save a huge amount of money for the same surgery at the same quality.  That number keeps growing every year as the ridiculousness of the US system becomes more obvious.

 

Yeah, but again you're using the average person as your data point. They go elsewhere because they cant afford US care. Where do billionaires go? To the top US hospitals. The US system is better.
