the 12+ hour wait times, the hospital occupancy, the aging population and slashed social spending are all hard data. if you want just ignore everything about the excess mortality, and you'll still get the same picture, it's not gonna look nice anyway you dice it.
healthcare (and education) are both incredibly big outliers in the last decades of technological progress (incredible diminishing returns, just look at US spending, brutal Baumol effect, since almost everything is still manual labor .. every MRI/CT requires more professional labor, every new drug requires more tests and consultations, and so on).
no wonder it's looking worse and worse when compared to total GDP of aging populations.
