Derid, when we talk about US healthcare, you always tell me that other countries, especially small European ones, are not comparable to US.

Guess what?

Iceland is not comparable to US as far as outcomes of financial crisis. Crash&Burn of Icelandic Banking System has negligible effect on global economy. Worldwide Manufacturing, Agriculture, Transportation will not cease to operate when Iceland "wiped clean" banking. As such, after "wiped clean" they can rejoin global community and start trading again with only minimal penalties. The same could not be said for US, there won't be global community left to rejoin if US to do the same.

I am constantly amazed how you can be so overly optimistic in your US market failure predictions. It does reinforce your ideological position, but at least consider that your position wasn't even considered as "best-case-outcome" at the time of financial crisis in the US.
