The problem with healthcare is that inefficiency and lack of transparency is profitable.

The government has deep pockets, and everyone is trying to get as much money as they can from it. Pharmaceutical industries, insurance providers, healthcare facilities, etc.

Pharmaceutical research is important and expensive, but there must be a way for that research to happen without doing stupid shit like making insulin expensive.

Labor costs in healthcare are high, but there must be a way to not make a bag of water with salt not cost $500.

People pay for costs that are completely unrelated for the products and services they are receiving.
