The true root of the problem is largely systemic: healthcare is a for-profit system in this country and was poorly designed in the first place. For example, employment based health insurance is largely a relic from WW2 because companies couldn't increase wages and offered it to entice workers.

We can band aid the solution as much as we want but we will never be able to resolve the true core problems.
