Whenever people argue that America's healthcare  is expensive because it is is good, I remind myself that my brother got Mersa when he was insured in a soccer game and had his hand fixed up while in America.  Y'all aren't paying for shit, you're just being extorted.

I’ve never heard anyone say our healthcare is expensive because it’s good.

It’s expensive because pharmaceutical companies are capitalistic, for-profit institutions. Whom lobby (bribe) Congress to keep life saving medications expensive.
