Bringing up "post scarcity" here is a straw man. The US medical system has been systematically optimized for extracting the maximum possible amount of money from every patient, part of which is artificially restricting available supply of medical care (although things are slightly getting better in that regard with practicing nurses and PAs) The other thing it was optimized for was hiding this from the patients. And only now, in 2023 are we beginning to see the horrible extent of this, because of price transparency rules.
