I don't live in, or look at exclusively at the US. In western europe for example there've been massive increases in healthcare costs, too. These are socialised, citizens don't pay them through their insurance package, but they're paid by society (citizens) through taxes for sure. And these have created large gains. Cuba is a poor example because it prioritises health over everything else. That's not a value judgement, rather that it's just an outlier. If you mandate in a dictatorial government that people should be doctors and work for a humble salary, then of course you'll see good healthcare outcomes for little money.
