With our crazy 'socialist' health care system, how come England is healthier that the USA?

The American Journal of Epidemiology published a study showing that the health of the average English person was better than the average US citizen. Quoting the study, the BBC noted that “even groups with good access to health insurance experienced worse health than people in England”. Despite being a ‘not-for-profit’ system the UK National Health System stills pays doctor about $250K and upwards, which is about 6 times the average salary in the UK. Is paying loads of cash for your healthcare just a placebo effect?
