the math has already been done. we pay more for less care in the united states than places with universal health care.
health insurance companies only profit by denying claims. profit only comes when humans suffer.

And hospitals. No one ever takes into account the fact that hospitals charge outrageous and arbitrary fees for services.

This is the root of it.
Piled on top of that are layers upon layers of middlemen rent-seekers. The amount of parasitic corporate bullshit that goes on behind the scenes whenever you go to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription would blow most people’s minds.
The good news is, awareness is growing, and there are a few good actors in government trying to do something about it. It’s very much an uphill battle, though.
