As already mentioned, healthcare is a strict necessity that can not go. Furthermore, the spending on health care are only so atrociously high because pharma and insurance companies make up arbitrarily high prices that do not even remotely reflect their costs. It's an outright scam that nobody cares to do anything about, all while voting for some redundant party or presidential candidate that won't do jackshit about any of the underlying core issues.
The healthcare costs in the United States is vastly inflated. Everything is ultra-expensive, including doctor's consultation, surgery, pharmaceutical products.etc. A surgery which costs $100,000 in the United States costs less than $5,000 in Thailand or Singapore. Similarly, prescription medicine, which costs $100 in the US is available for just $5 in Mexico.
