> There is no legitimate reason for healthcare prices to be so insane.

these profit margins are why some people claim that the US is actually subsidizing the rest of the world's low cost health outcomes.

These companies make money in the US, at high margins, which enables them to operate at low margins in other more regulated countries.

This might apply to Pharma, which actually operates in international markets, but not to US health insurers, PBMs, or for-profit Healthcare providers.
