Have you ever worked in the US healthcare system? I worked for a medical diagnostics lab and spent a couple weeks in our billing department shadowing them at one point, we were writing off a minimum of 100k/day (and that is a very conservative estimate based on the 1 billing person I shadowed) in services for indigent patients.
So the US healthcare model as it stands is a euphemism for the wealthy and healthy subsidizing the poor and sick in an insanely inefficient way.
