Unwilling. It's absolutely feasible to find a solution, as seen everywhere else in the world.

only parts of the US are unwilling
they happen to be in the Fortune 50, or top 10.
serious, go look at the F500 list and see how many of the largest, meanest companies in the US (and world) world also happen to be healthcare
if you wanna know why it's never gonna happen -- there is the list. they will spend more money than god on social media, bribes, and whatever else they need to keep the system the way it is
Unable to be willing. The combination of not knowing any better, political parties and media that don't care or exert a contrary pressure because they belong to billionaires, and powerful health sector businesses appears to be very effective.
Even some parts of the US have found solutions.
