Could it be that they have a state health care system like most other civilized countries?

The American medical system is a corporate model with a focus on generating profit.
In the American medical system, to heal or cure a patient is the same as killing a profitable customer.
When and if the monetary reward for healing or curing outweighs the monetary reward for treating a customer long term, then we will see a change.

I agree with part of the OP in the sense that I believe less is more when talking about medical treatments.
People here get vaccinated for everything, they pop a pill every time they have a minor health mality, a headache, stomach pains, they eat pills to help gain weight, to lose weight, many times taking drugs for small health issues that have a chain of side effects far worse than the initial problem.
So in short, aside from the obvious things making people sick, like the food and the poor water and air quality, the single thing that makes Americans sick and unhealthy are the very drugs they are taking to make them feel better.
Americans are being poisoned, and it aint by accident.

I think processed foods (white flour, refined sugar to name two) and HFCS contribute greatly to the diabetes epidemic
in the US. How common is it to see high fructose corn syrup in English foods?

Well, given the Tories track well it won't be for long, am sure the bidding process has already stated to sell our health care to the highest private bidder who'll delivery the lowest level of service. If the report is true, it wont be for very long.

It will be a big shame if that happens, a very big loss. McHealthCare
