Yeah in the United States of Billionaires healthcare is a product to extract profit from in every way possible.

Pharma companies get public funding for research and then turn around and charge insane prices for the final product infuriatingly referring to research costs to justify their pricing.

Hospitals are bought and run by investment companies.

"Insurance" ~~scammers~~ corporations have their own fiefdoms that they control so there's very little competition and their sole reason for existing is to take your money and deny coverage for absolutely anything they can possibly deny you for so they keep the most money possible.
