New Gallup Report Undermines the Myth of “Superior” European Healthcare
Posted by Timothy Lee
Socialized medicine advocates curiously but persistently suggest that European models offer a superior alternative to the American healthcare system that relies more on private market forces and strong intellectual property rights. Gallup offers an important corrective, even if unintentionally. Whereas the percentage of Americans rating their healthcare as positive has remained within a high 76% to 83% window for years, Europeans consistently rate their healthcare satisfaction substantially lower, with only Germany matching American satisfaction levels:
Germany: 84% approve/15% disapprove
United Kingdom: 76% approve/22% disapprove
France: 74% approve/25% disapprove
Spain: 68% approve/31% disapprove
Italy: 51% approve/487% disapprove
That’s important to remember as calls for socialized medicine become louder amid the coronavirus pandemic and as November elections approach.

We could definitely improve but I don't see socialized medicine as the solution
