Yes, folks are being priced out of healthcare, but the healthcare that is being provided is of superior quality than can be found in other countries -- even first world countries with socialized healthcare. I mean it in that narrow sense, that the service that is being delivered is of higher quality.

It sounds like your point is that wider delivery of healthcare would be superior overall. That's fine, but I contend that the best way to achieve that is by increasing the supply of healthcare providers, instead of applying a price ceiling, which leads to shortages (as seen elsewhere on this thread[0]) and quality deterioration.
