Thank you for sharing the details of your experience. Healthcare in the US is not a normal market, so normal product- based thinking doesn't work. The end user doesn't pay, so they cannot directly influence the market by choosing products. Your discovery with the doctor who said that improving care doesn't help her, is really insightful. The 80/20 insurance rule fixes insurance profits so they have an incentive to make care as expensive as possible. Despite all this, we all know there is a ton of value in making things better. Your graph of Aleve performing so much better then ibuprofen is really interesting, and seems to capture how other parts of the system could be improved if end users were given the choice. Maybe a trusted review site with data to help patients choose doctors.
