One of the reasons that healthcare is so expensive in the US is that for procedures especially surgeries, you are required to be in a room full of people making salaries well into the six figures. Whereas in any other European country with socialised healthcare, their doctors are making sums much closer to the average but still well above.
The issue is that doctors in the US will never take a paycut of 70% so that socialised healthcare will be instated, and the government sure wouldn't be able to compete with the private sector in terms of wages.
As long as doctors are being valued at 20x the rate as a min wage worker, socialised healthcare will never make it.
I just wanted to give an alternate perspective to this as most people never look at it from his way
