The idea would be to drive down the cost to near zero through the release of suppressed technologies.
We have within our grasp to live in near perfect health.
The medical system in this country, while great, is still flawed and I'm not going to believe otherwise.
You need look no further than Ruth Bader Ginsburg to see what can happen if people are motivated to keep someone in good health. An 80 year old woman (hell probably older) who routinely at this point "beats cancer."

Of course it is, mostly via over burdensome bureaucracy, surely fedgov VA style control would fix this.... /s.

I anesthetized a 99 year old (with far less financial means than Ruth) with metastatic gastric cancer for a hip replacement today. Your example is garbage.

This is actually one of the more compelling arguments in support of socialized medicine that I’ve seen.
In a healthcare system like that described by the OP, that treacherous old hag would have been dead 30 years ago. Imagine how much of the social fabric of America could have been preserved had she never been appointed to the Supreme Court.
