When the US struggles for common ground in those regards it is impossible to mirror the Dutch and Brits.

I agree on most points. Having lived in both countries , and experiencing both insurance through employers and personal choice, I'm just glad to be rid of the employer provided insurance for now. I just hope I don't ever have to work for a religious employer who enforces their beliefs on their employees when I return to the US.
