The rest of the western world pays way less per health care per citizen and has healthier citizens who live longer. That’s objectively true. A large reason for it is they don’t have a massive insurance industry that has CEOs and shareholders to pay. I have no idea how to realistically fix it, nor does anyone, but what’s comical is claiming our healthcare system is overall “better” than Canada, Norway, Japan, etc. ask anyone from those countries if they’d like to model what we have here.
