It’s a little amusing that you bring up the current admin, without saying anything about the Biden admin in which the article timeframe occurs or the Obama admin that created a lot of the havoc we have now in personal health care.

Unfortunately, the U.S. has never had the best doctors in the world (outside of cancer treatment). Japan and Russia for example have much better healthcare. However, it has certainly gotten worse now that hospitals are taking advantage of the visa system and bringing over doctors/nurses from other countries to increase their own bottom line.

The regular cost increases are due to immigration (no insurance), medical coding system, and govt subsidies.

You would have to blow up the system and restart to make it affordable, but then that also means millions of jobs gone overnight, a historic market crash, and then no one would want to work in that field as pay would have to be substantially lower.

You also can’t go down the free healthcare route based on the above, along with govt being horrible with everything it touches that we would have a $50 trillion debt in a few years time.
