California is already suffering a net loss in domestic migration as more Americans leave the state because of the rising taxes, rising cost of living, and increasing incompetence of the liberal state government.

Is that why the state grew from the 7th largest economy in the world to the 5th largest in the past few years? Because liberals just don't know how to run shit?

Why are you still pretending that "universal healthcare" means "one size fits all"?The US primary education needs improvement in places. But is not an utter and complete disaster. In many places it is quite good.
Yes, it is.And would you say Medicaid is an utter and complete disaster?
I don't know enough about it to comment.Many EU countries have for for profit healthcare.
But also government-funded systems that work.Also healthcare in the US also is a mixed system, consisting of for profit, non profits AND government administrated and supplied care.
So your knowledge of both the EU and US also needs work.
No, your ability to respond to what I actually said does.Germany has a mixed system that is large decentralized in many aspects, states administer aspects of it. It works. In Canada healthcare is primarily administered at the Provincial level.
And this has precisely nothing to do with anything that I said.And if you think rural Alaska and NYC have identical healthcare needs and concerns I am not sure what to say. You apparently do not understand the US at all.
Name a significant difference.

You never explained why healthcare in the US cannot, and should not be administered primarily at a state or lower level.
It should be. Yes universal healthcare need not be one sized fits all, it can be decentralized like in Germany.
And the US does have government funded healthcare. The issue is some people who do not have other care are not eligible for a government funded system.
Which is an issue. But the issue is not that private companies are involved too.
And easy difference in rural Alaska. Population density.
Many people in rural Alaska live in tiny villages and homesteads, accessible only by float planes.
Float plane based transportation is quite different from NYC in which all the population can be relatively near a big hospital.

Do you honestly somehow not get 'We happened to luck into having a nice climate which attracts rich people, which attracts industry' is not somehow a ringing endorsement of liberal policy?

Do that in the US.
Short of going to the ER, most doctors won't get you in for any sort of appointment for weeks after you call, and once you get in, will schedule surgeries and the like for weeks after that.

And the resulting fundamental difference in the healthcare requirements is what, exactly?

Actually you are wrong. Private companies are not the vast majority of it. The government is nearly half of it.

Given states have very different concerns and needs the the DC government has little understanding of, and Constitutional issues means it definitely should not be centralized in DC.
You think providing, running and funding float plane based ambulance service for a state with extreme low population density, and providing healthcare in a very low density environment is not different than doing it in a hyper dense mega city?

The NHS is dealt with in various areas. They are called Primary Trusts. Each has a budget and they spend said budget on what is most needed within their area of coverage. We do this in an area smaller than most of your states. I'm confident the US could manage it across your nation.

The vast majority of the provision, the vast majority of the profits, and service the vast majority of people. The government spending is just because of the fucking stupid setup where they pick up absurdly expensive emergency bills, rather than paying for preventative care."Alaska has been quite a story over the last few years. It's not like other states."

That's because you're asking for appointments for things that aren't urgent. If you want your non-urgent things treating quicker, feel free to pay: it's probably less than £30/month.

Actually a large number of the hospitals are owned by the federal or local government.
And other places like Germany also rely largely on the private sector.
Yes overuse of emergency rooms instead of preventive care is a problem, but could just as equally be a problem if the government owned more emergency rooms than it already does (which is a large number).
I answered your question. Also the article discusses some of the details.
When your population is so spread out, and transport so different, you need a different healthcare system then you do in New York City.
A few large hospitals can be accessed by the whole NYC population.
Largest hospitals will not work in rural Alaska. You need mobile doctors and a float plane based system to transport them and patients instead of large hospitals with conventional ambulances.
