I don't disagree with you, but I think it's an optimization problem. All healthcare can't be free no matter what, but you can't tell me that healthcare in the US isn't overpriced. Do you really think the doctors are going to allow free market measures that bring costs down and lower their incomes? I agree that political pandering is the source of the problem but you won't get any libertarian reforms to help solve the problem either. So what are people supposed to do? Can't really blame them either.
