You can explain all you want, but the US is the only country that has exorbitant bills for healthcare culturally normalized for some reason, despite outcomes being roughly the same as other developed countries.
Unless your explanation sufficiently addresses that (which I doubt, since you are not an economist), no one will care to listen.
So maybe a little less confidence and a bit more humility and empathy (for those that need healthcare and can't afford it).
