Trotting out statistics comparing various things, like health care, between countries, without demonstrating how the method of providing health care depends on and contributes to a country's political and social system, leaves out the most salient point.
I'd rather live in Switzerland because its smaller and more homogenous population mostly agree on values that I agree with, especially values on personal freedom and limitations on government. So it is not racked with the various identity problems we have, nor the racial problems, nor the social bickering fostered by academia and media, etc. And I love the Swiss landscape.
But if Switzerland adopted a British social and political system, I would not want to live there. And there is a nice Forbes article which shows that Swiss style healthcare without the mandate would be possible here:
