Well let's see, it seems the US spends around $5200 per capita on health care, while Ireland is about $3000, and we spend 15%+ GDP on health care, while they spend 8%+ of their GDP.

The wiki cites a survey, which is linked, showing that 90% of the population is satisfied with their healthcare system.
