Issue is more like 'the cure for high prices is high prices' does not seem to work in healthcare

  Which, to anyone who knows even the basic econ ideology that would suggest such a claim, is "duh". You can choose to not repair your car. You cannot choose to not repair your body except in extreme cases. Demand will always be infinite. We don't have the technology to saturate the healthcare market any time soon. Meanwhile, plenty of Americans still insist that they "Don't want to pay for freeloaders" as the current system means hospitals overcharge them to subsidize people with no insurance who come into the emergency room (a much much much more expensive healthcare onramp) and require care. But Americans will fix that shortly. Once hospitals are allowed to just let uninsured people die, you can rest assured that your money will not be used to subsidize poor people. Instead, every excess dime you spend will go right into the profit column of some executive's spreadsheet!
