One of the most interesting things about this whole situation is that nobody is trying to even pretend that the current system is fair or effective. The tone in media and from corporate PR, business leaders, and politicians is either silence or some version of "hey stop talking about that / well it's not MY fault." Everyone knows the system is unfair, parasitic, and literally murderous, but no one in power is willing to take responsibility of any kind or show real leadership in bringing change.

In fact us out of pocket spending is low compared to OECD, and overhead while relatively high is not huge. It's that the doctors and hospitals in the US are paid much more.
