The USA spends more on health care than socialized healthcare countries do. Therefore, socialized healthcare systems have less money, and money is an important resource.


The USA may spend more on health care, but how much of that money is wasted on overhead?

Insurance company execs are not likely to be treating Ebola :-)


That money is targetted to older people in the US. Diseases of older people include dementia, cancer, respiratory stuff, orthopedic stuff after falls, etc.

It's unlikely that either system is particularly set up for Ebola style infectious illness.
