You're confusing things. Healthcare sometimes has a perverse supply curve, meaning the more expensive it is, the lower the quality. This is true of many drugs: there are generics whose side effects are well understood and have stood the test of time. They're so good that they are still being demanded and prescribed despite newer alternatives with incredible marketing and doctor incentives, glamorous salespersons, all-expense paid conventions in paradisiacal locales, and prestigious studies that show it's for sure at least 1% more effective which makes it a game changer. And even then it's for insurance to cover. Really cheap healthcare is really hard to get because other reasonable economic factors still play a role. People want more of it because it's cheap and it still costs real money to provide so there's only so much budget for it. But if you manage to get it you will be way ahead. The big factor is that cheap healthcare weeds out practitioners who value your money more than your humanity. Maybe you'll also weed out a great doctor who charges a lot because he's so good, though.
