The real issues is insurance companies want to make lots of money, private hospitals want to make lots of money. Health care in the US just lines a few mega corporations pockets while giving the minimum in actual healthcare. Every other country has free (as in everyone pays taxes) healthcare, and they make sure you visit the local doctors for checkups to get at minor issue before it gets major. Here we put bandaids on issues with costly drugs so you can keep doing your unhealthy things until you end up in emergency and then they can pile on the costs. The vast majority of those costs come in the last 6 months of your life giving you treatments that just prolong the agony and cost tons.
We are born to make a few people money any way they can get it.
