The point is that other countries are realizing the same or better (generally better) levels of care while confronting the same issues.

Privatization and ineffective/lobbyist-written regulation is and has been the problem from the beginning.

Adding "but before all those complex concerns, our number one priority is making a profit" is literal insanity.

Add to the mix that employers are only incentivized to provide care for accute conditions that jeopardize productivity (rather than things that improve longevity and quality of life), and I mean... what did anyone expect?

Healthcare is complex but understanding why we're living in a failure mode isn't. The fundamentals are completely incorrect.
