The reason I won't believe some odd nuance somehow explains how healthcare actually works is because it's obvious healthcare isn't working. We can see this. Look at insulin, which can be produced for a fraction of what it's sold. Not a fair markup, exploitation. A life saving medication for many, held as some kind of carrot to exploit those people. This issue permeates the system almost completely. Look at people who won't get preventative care while it would save them and the system work in the long run, because of the extreme expense. Anywhere we look we can see it not working.

Caused by greed and ignorance, exploitation inevitably leads to waste. Because this all centers on money, a lot of that waste takes the form of inflation. Which amplifies the whole problem for the people being exploited in the first place. Increasing the burden yet again. It's wild.

Anyway even if you don't agree on that, the things that you did agree on are the things I'm talking about and the way our system could be better. Possibly with the help of artificial intelligence.
