Я предполагал, что медицина должна стоить гораздо дешевле, когда люди платят за нее напрямую, без посредства страховых компаний, но я не знал, насколько дешевле

Из моего опыта все наоборот. Если платить самой в госпитале, то цена будет намного большей, чем через страховку. У страховки с госпиталями - договорные цены, которые меньше, чем цены с теми, кто платит кэш. С другой стороны, лечение в большом госпитале намного дороже чем в специализированном центре.
Ok. В двух словах - вся медицина частная. Оплату делает получатель сервиса. Продолжительность жизни выше чем в США. Суммарные расходы к GDP существенно ниже чем в США
It does never make any economic sense to try to fuck the laws of nature in the ass.
Without government intervention, any business will do everything it can to make sure that basic shit is cheap and available. This is the way to the top. This is Ford. This is Microsoft. This is Apple. And so on. This is why this country has cheap and plentiful food. For one simple reason, - if you sell expensive things to the rich, you may become a millionaire. In order to become a billionaire, you must sell cheap basic staff to the poor.
Only an economic illiterate may think that intervention is the "basic" part of the market is small and harmless, - because the basic part is HUGE.
Someone wants to remove incentives for the businesses to produce cheap basic things? Fine, go ahead. Don't be surprised when the result is the same that commies achieved trying to provide USSR with "basic" food.
Colleague of mine has bought an i-phone on ebay recently. Shipped to Russia it cost about $420. Even in Russia it's pretty affordable, given that a lot of similar devices are sold for much higher price.
