> to justify the unethical system that allows millions to die unnecessarily
Which people are those millions?
The system saves millions of lives that would have died in generations past. How do you factor that into your claim?

The US has a mortality rate due to preventable causes comparable to Poland/Slovakia despite having nearly a 4x higher GDP per capita. Even poorer countries with better systems do far better w.r.t preventable mortality. This amounts to an extra 100,000 deaths per year approx vs countries like Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, etc.
and there are an awful lot of people, even if it is free or paid for by a great health insurance plan that ALSO don't go to the doctor when they should - thats just human nature
and on the other hand, lots of people running up ten's of thousands of dollars in unnecessary tests because they are hypochondriacs and run to the doctor every time they have a sniffle and demand every treatment and test under the sun.
