Healthcare in this country is so broken. This industry should be made as simple efficient and affordable as visiting Walgreens. The regulations, the cartel-like barriers to competition, the behemoth corporate powers. The only way to get adequate care is to become so rich you can escape the whole thing.

I've received COVID vaccinations at Walgreens, but nothing else you'd call health care. I would imagine that if the industry limited itself to filling prescriptions (though prescribed by whom?) and selling aspirin etc., it could be very simple, efficient, and affordable.
