We have a two-pronged problem with HC...not everyone has access...and for those that do, they pay 2X
what those in any other developed nation do...a HUGE waste of $$$. The ACA was a start...but more needs to be done. A key player in all of this is the Insurance "Middleman"...Again, i recommend going to the library, or purchasing Steven Brill's book, "America's Bitter Pill"...an Excellent review of HC in America right up through the creation of the ACA...plus suggestions for the future...provided you care about this issue...
