I'm not saying that couldn't be part or most of the solution. But there is a decided air of "well all these other countries do it, you idiot, so it's clear we just need to snap our fingers and do it too and everything will be perfect with exactly zero unintended consequences" whenever someone says we "just" need to have universal healthcare and everything else will work itself out. There are some extremely good elements of American healthcare. Our healthcare education system with all its flaws is among the best in the world. We're a global center of medical and pharmaceutical research. Changes to the provider side need to take that into account or the entire world could suffer as a result.
