No Derid, your "pages of explanations" are grasping for the straws. Your arguments weren't convincing or relevant. For example, our discussion into how governments are funded and who is net exporter of energy was interesting, but it had very little to do with healthcare, where you can easily see that $/person costs are still higher and decouple whole thing from "things that artificially inflate size of GDP".

Just to sum them up, so you can be sure that I do read your posts and not just "loltrolling" - your arguments boil down to following: a) people are significantly less healthy in US b) US subsidizes healthcare for entire world c) US is so exceptional that you can't really compare GDPs.

None of these hold water.
