Yeah, unfortunately the disparity continues even if you factor out the poorer parts of Europe. Even if you factor out the UK. France is a wash, some rates are better, some worse. Sweden is at parity in most cases. Other EU states? Not so much.

And by the way, what country could possibly have a more socialist health care system than the UK? While the UK isn't the most socialist country in Europe, but it does have the most socialized system of health care.

You keep focusing on lack of universal care, despite the fact that the actual outcomes for US citizens are often better, often pretty shockingly better.
