Nationalized insurance -- privatized health services.
There's simply no reason for a private health insurance industry -- co-ops will not work, b/c as soon as they reap cost savings from lowered executive compensation there will be a push to privatize them. Taht's what has happened to non-profit health insurance companies of any size.
Consider that CEO's in the U.S. make substantially more than Europe and it has very little to do with performance and everything to do with a culture that rewards mediocracy at the top of many large private and publicaly traded companies.
