modern US health system is not primarily for the sick but are businesses that provide a money stream for the wealthy.
Monopolies intuit are competing for investors by going after ever higher returns.

True, unless you have a catastrophic injury or illness.

Sure, it's pricey, but you also get good service in the US. Plus, healthcare system is expensive literally everywhere in the west.

not true in the last 3 places I lived.

expensive is a relative term and the US is near the top

"In 2016, the United States spent nearly twice as much as 10 high-income countries on medical care and performed less well on many population health outcomes. Contrary to some explanations for high spending, social spending and health care utilization in the United States did not differ substantially from other high-income nations. Prices of labor and goods, including pharmaceuticals and devices, and administrative costs appeared to be the main drivers of the differences in spending."

The price of medical care is the single biggest factor behind U.S. healthcare costs, accounting for 90% of spending. These expenditures reflect the cost of caring for those with chronic or long-term medical conditions, an aging population and the increased cost of new medicines, procedures and technologies.

Because labor is expensive, specialty is expensive
