Funny how it's a problem only in the "richest country in the world".

It also pales in comparison to the burden and costs of existing system in the US.

Well, right, because most other advanced-economy states require you to carry insurance (more-or-less the solution we were going for, before the penalty for failing to have insurance was eliminated) or cover everyone under a government-provided healthcare scheme of one sort or another.

If your point is just that the US healthcare system is far more-broken than most, and in some unique ways, all for no good reason—sure, yeah, of course that's true.
