Sooner or later the USA is going to look in the mirror and realize that 50% (perhaps more) of the problems with the healthcare system isn't the HCS but the general health of the population that the HCS has been tasked to care for. We keep blaming the HCS and yet we also keep increasing demand - hello obesity, hello substance abuse*, hello suboptimal lifestyle choices - prices will increase. Supply and demand does apply to healthcare as well. Covid is a disease. But it's also very much a symptom. * Note: That's not disrespecting individuals for their addictions but noting how fond we are creating pain and suffering at a societal level. Why do we have so many that need so much relief?
