If the Japanese cashier makes half the amount, but spends only 1/3 on healthcare that still seems to favor Japan

Well sure, then you're kinda cherry picking data that could easily be considered within a margin of error to make a rather unconvincing point

It is not cherry picking to respond to presented data

It's cherry picking to describe the typical worker experience? You do realize that vast majority of Americans don't make more than $100k right?

Whats your point, US healthcare is ridiculously expensive to detriment of all US citizens sans those working for health insurance conglomerates. Any objective data you pick will show this, no need for strawmen.

It’s really good for clinicians and their paychecks, too.
