Health care in the US is expensive because the bad players are the insurance industry. It’s just a huge middleman that doesn’t need to exist, and yet it consistently makes record profits.
You’ll run into hurdles when you try to bypass this layer because big insurance execs won’t be happy when they don’t get their cut. Then there’s all the people working for them that will be unemployed. But we just need to bite the bullet and remove the industry completely.
When peoples’ health is at risk, there can’t be a notion of profit involved to get in the way of availability of treatment.
