The Dutch and the Germans have more effective social security systems
than the US, and that does cost money
How do you know that?

It shows up in the public health statistics - the USA is roughly level
pegging with Cuba, and well behind the industrialised European
countries.

Please provide a credible link. Cancer mortality is hugely higher in
Europe. So is lots of other nasty stuff. Much of the medical technology
I've worked on over here has never even been tried in engineering groups
in Europe. Such as:

How could anybody believe the Cuban statistics? I recall them also
claiming 99.9% literacy, which is impossible.

It's all about the health care available to the poor, who are the
biggest group in every population. The crappy service that the Cuban
poor get is better than the crappy service that the Amercan poor get.
The elite in every country get much better health care and live
longer, healthier lives than the poor. There aren't big differences in
the life expectancies and infant mortalities of the rich and powerful,
so the population figures are mostly about the service the poorest
groups get.
