Again, you need a better solution than just blaming individuals because that isn't working at scale. The US is a significant global outlier in healthcare. It spends substantially more per capita and as a percentage of its economy than any other high-income nation. Despite this high spending, the health outcomes are average to below-average on a wide range of key metrics (life expectancy, infant mortality, etc). It's not sustainable long-term. And there's no silver bullet, you'll need multiple great solutions.

What has the US to do with any of this? > Despite this high spending, the health outcomes are average to below-average on a wide range of key metrics That's because health outcomes are mostly affected by lifestyle and luck, rather than high spending. > And there's no silver bullet, you'll need multiple great solutions. (Only slightly tongue in cheek) There is a silver bullet: Get rid of the cars, start using self-powered modes of transport, such as walking and cycling.
