"insurance" is jsut the means to pay for something. i've never thought that insurance should be the be-all-end-all. i should be able to pay for my healthcare services with just regualr money out of pocket; i shouldn't be forced into insurance.
the united states has the best healthcare available in the world. it's indisputable
http://hospitals.webometrics.info/en/world
top 20 hospitals: 2 in taipei and 1 in france, 17 in the US, including the top 7. france has that number 8 slot, but only has 3 in the top 100. over half the top 100 is US. that's because the best healthcare is in the US.
the best healthcare system? now that's different. you're right that netherlands is similar. in fact, it's the same deal. fining (no wait, it's a tax) people if they don't comply and get private insurance and whatnot. is this good? i don't know. i don't think so, but i'm darwinian.

We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will yet swell the chorus when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.
