Health care has been incredibly regulated in the US for a long time, from local to the federal level harmful regulation are enforced. In fact it is horribly regulated by any rational logic. But instead of looking at that and seeing the issues with it, the whole world just uses it to bash on capitalism, as if the US Health care system was some exemplar free market system. US politicians have no interest in reforming the system other then add more and more layers on top or keep the status quo. Funny enough medical care that doesn't fall under the insurance system is very effective in the US. Eye surgery or beauty operations can somehow be run with amazing capitalist efficiency but routine operations that are about the same in terms of complexity cost 10-20x more. Arguably one of the best system, Singapore, is more free market then US one. This is not to say that any system has the perfect combination, but a simple government run health care proves that government run everything is better, and use the US system as evidence is bad argument.
