They also do many things so radically different that it is always worth looking at how they handle it, especially given that 70 years ago they essentially had nothing but the remains of a post-war colonial city.
It’s certainly always worth learning from others; just making a point about statistical comparisons.
Just because the US, Norway, and Singapore are all categorized as countries doesn’t mean you can compare their stats directly without adding some asterisks for further context each time you do it.
Funny enough, I actually live in Alberta. My personal experience with the healthcare here is actually amazing.
But I’m in Calgary. There’s still a big, expensive challenge in providing care in the tiny towns. Alberta is pretty much infinitely large compared to Singapore.
Another aspect is that some of Alberta’s money goes to subsidize other provinces which is something else Singapore doesn’t have.
It’s easy to imagine a small, rich region in the US / Canada / UK running its own system and doing well at it.
The scale of caring for an entire country is a challenge onto itself.
