I've talked about this a few times recently, that the amount of money charged by the US government to the taxpayer for medical care is basically as much per capita as Canada or the UK spend to give everyone healthcare.
Some people go "Oh, well we have reasons not to have universal healthcare", and if that's what people want then fine, but it's like... You shouldn't have to pay twice. Either you need private health insurance or you need to pay so much for public healthcare it could give everyone healthcare anywhere else. But it's really messed up that you could pay twice and maybe still not even get the healthcare you need once without going bankrupt.
