Unfortunately this is most of the politics that drives health care in the USA. Most people in the US don't even get close to old age because they don't have access to adequate healthcare.
Bill Gates is saving thousands of lives by trying to wipe out diseases that generally affect poor people for very little money per life saved.
While in the US millions is spent per person to provide longer lives for a few people.
