Is it technical? There is a reason the US is unique in the world in both its unsocialized healthcare and in its costs. While socialized medicine now may not reverse the out of control spending, we can observe that the lack of it was the most likely cause. In the semi-private market of American healthcare that has been around since the 70s, the incentives structure has been absurdly broken for so long it should be no surprise you pay more for mediocre results.

At this point though, going with the known working solution sooner rather than later is the technically most plausible way to stop the cost expansion. It is exactly like people debating about national debt - you can't complain or argue about how to pay it off until you stop adding to it every year, often with an increasing deficit (which is how republican administrations for the last 30 years have governed).

It is crazy to argue that in the moment your house is on fire to try this untested strategy of using giant fans to blow the fire out that nobody else has done versus going with the tried and true use a fire truck to extinguish the blaze. Experiment after everything isn't on fire.
