What makes you think we have the "best healthcare system around"? By any measure I've seen, we get mediocre results for exorbitant costs (compared to the rest of the world).
One of the reasons our healthcare system stinks is because of the free market. Insurance companies are profit driven, which doesn't result in better care. It results in more doctor visits and more procedures, because that's how they make their money.
