No, most people do now know this.
Michael Moore's Sicko movie did good criticism of the current dysfunctional US HC and it is even worse than that. Government is not doing the job to "govern" to fight monopolies, greed and outright corruption and Medical Industrial Complex has Washington swamp in their pocket (together with other monopolies mafias). So, US is increasingly dysfunctional and there will be consequences from that up to possibly fall of the whole "western civilization" (US+Eu+UK) and 1st chaos, then multipolar opportunistic world.
People vote for "short term sales pitch" instead of what is optimal and right for long term and their kids and grandkids. Key factors are missing:
- Political manipulation is dominant.
- Fact, logic rational based dialogue is vanishing. (i.e. indirectly and directly stimulated by interests, so left does not talk to right and any rational thought is attacked/labeled/censored and anyone who provides criticism of any or both sides in different ways is painted/pushed "polarized" often each side paints such people both ways whatever suits them, so echo chamber effect gets amplified until the system blows up).
- People, through generations, are conditioned to be driven by emotions vs face logic/facts/rational. This starts from the early age kids conditioning them into 'ideal consumers' (some call this "idiots" and I understand it but it will be hard to wake them up by reason only, as past tells the only unfortunate way to wake up is catastrophe/calamity/hinger/war)
I can tell a lot of information to anyone that can be add on to Michael's Moore documentary and can paint the complex truth. It is not black and white at all and from my long life experience, best would be to fix the current US HC by breaking monopolies and unfair practices (such as price gauging, etc,...) and this could get US to way better HC than any socialized system can be. But my predictions is that "populism hustling" in the atmosphere of forbidden rational dialogue and political hustlers will go worse direction. I guess it is that 4th degenerative phase of the empire, where "soul&spirit" of the people's mind falls (obvious all around us). I just hope US does not go the way of Balkan.
