It is a fascinating take. I am curious to understand what model you think would work.

The U.S. effectively has a dysfunctional system with wild mix of "no regulation" and heavy state participation. I am not sure there is any country with a deregulated system where people can enjoy good healthcare. You could theoretically say that Switzerland does this, but the government there requires everyone to have insurance, even though hospitals are 100% private.

There's no magic wand fix to healthcare, it and the related insurance industry are incredibly busted.

What I am dead certain of though is that involving the government in it will be worse, not better.
