Here in Canada we have decided that a person should not live or die based on how rich they are. The idea that money should be the deciding factor over life or death is considered to be inappropriate here.
We do not have a perfect system but it delivers more and better health care than the US at a lot less cost.
This seems to be a result of a society that acts with more Christian charity than the so-called "society" of the USA while having half or less as many theists per capita.
