Oddly enough, the US opponents of the scheme are holding up the British system, not the Italian system, as an example of how things can go wrong.
A reasonably well-run country ought to be able to run a National Health Service reasonably well. Knowing what I know of Italian politics- not much, but all of it lurid- I'm not entirely surprised the health service is chaotic.
Our system does makes mistakes. It has pockets of excellence and pockets of fail. Fortunately I seem to live in one of the former.
