It appears that your largely privatised US healthcare system is an absolute mess. People say it is hugely inefficient, expensive and inequitable.
Increasing employment in healthcare and social assistance seems understandable with an increasingly aged population but my impression is that many Americans have little or no health care cover and that there is huge inequality in Americans receive while it is very expensive as well.
The public health system here in New Zealand is very efficient at providing good basic healthcare to all citizens. It is a major expense for the government but is provided on an equal basis to everyone.
Just as I do not like the idea of some people not having a adequate basic income in old age, some citizens not having access to good basic healthcare seems brutal.
Free markets are good in many areas but not so good at healthcare and welfare.
