"Not Invented Here" syndrome.
An ingrained mistrust of anything European, or foreign for that matter.
The notion that we'd have to adopt a European healthcare system, lock, stock and barrel, rather than adapting what works to our own society and needs.
False pride: the idea that nobody can do anything better than we can, therefore if we didn't make it, it must suck.
Our national unwillingness/inability to learn from others or to learn from experience.
