It's by design to keep the proletariat down while enriching insurance and healthcare executives.
I did some rough math and used UHC several years ago.
Take the CEO’s entire salary and divide it among all the insureds that year. I think it was something like $0.70 returned to each covered person.

We pay our doctors and nurses more than everywhere else in the world does.

I pay over $500/month with a high deductible/HSA plan. I'm healthy do well. I have back pain with sciatica. It flared up the other day and it happened to coincide with my annual physical. Doctor mentioned an MRI. I refused just because I know the out of pocket cost for that would be high and drain my HSA. So I gambled and have taken other routes.
Point is, we pay an exorbitant amount and still don't want to get treatments because of costs. It's a broken system.

Without health insurance how does the average family finance health services?
It’s evil until you need it, right?

1965 Medicare Act.
Subsidized healthcare.
Demand skyrocketed.
Prices skyrocketed.
We have never recovered.
Things like Obamacare made it worse.
I have a plan that I'll release later on. It will transition us to a free market system, cut medical costs, and make us money in the long run, and improve medicine.
One thing is for sure: as a nation we have to start thinking long term. We need a real plan to get government out of healthcare entirely and stop thinking short term. If we don't do this, our system will collapse and the government will completely take over. Healthcare is too important to let the government have control of it.

Why isn't Healthcare affordable?
Also the “get care, pay later” for routine stuff doesn’t help. Imagine trying to run a restaurant where 90% of you customes skipped out on the check and you have find them weeks or months later to pay for their meal.

Because you are paying for the Healthcare of millions of leeches before you ever step foot in the Doctors' office.
Add to that the piece of shite Lawyers who will sue for every stubbed toe and you have your answer
You are buying right into their bs propaganda. They have us blaming each other instead of the system they have created that does not let you compare costs or discuss why we pay way more than the rest of the world. It is not the system that was created this way on purpose it is your neighbor's fault. You blame your neighbor instead of the corrupt system.
Divide and conquer.

The proverbial elephant in the room might be that we have a very unhealthy population that consumes more "healthcare" than what should be required
Absolutely. Our country needs to get in better shape, eat far far far less processed foods, exercise, cut back on meat consumption etc. if that’s done we wouldn’t require nearly the amount of healthcare services that we do now. But nobody wants to talk about that, it must be the poor and the illegals and everything else. Meanwhile I’ll continue being fat and lazy like the rest of the country.

Ryan ran on repeal and replace aca. trump and ryan and McConnell were supposed to replace it. did they look out for you?
85% of House Democrats voted to pass Obamacare. Only 1 Republican voted to pass it (after the required 218 votes had already been obtained). It had passed the Senate by a 60-39 vote along party lines. 94% of Republicans in the Senate voted to repeal Obamacare in 2016. You are being disingenuous at best.
