Or is "too big to fail" just a ploy by those organizations to entrench themselves even further in our lives?
I don't know how you can realistically look at this without thinking of the "I never thought leopards would eat MY face!!" meme. Politics matters. Voters in rural areas (generally, of course) have consistently voted against policies that would help support health care in these rural locations, such voting in politicians who are staunchly against Obamacare, who refuse any expansion or even adequate support for Medicai…

It's not like it's Medicaid that caused those people to appear. Not expanding the coverage isn't reducing the rate of people needing care it's just reducing what will be paid for.

Government payer reimbursements must go up, but cost controls are necessary as well to drive out a profit motive. Yes, I'm aware that the limited quota on residency slots is also a problem that needs solving for. https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/fund-reports/2... https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/explainer/2019... https://www.politico.com/agenda/story/2017/10/25/doctors-sal... https://www.vox…

Is there any country with a medical system that people don't complain about? For instance is there anyone in the world that would agree: "Gee, my healthcare is so cheap, it's surprising that it covers everything I want it to without me needing to go out of my way to justify my treatment options and I have so many medical professionals available to me at a moments notice!"
The NHS is one of the most beloved institutions on the planet AFAICT. Of course everyone would prefer if everything were better all the time, but complaints about the US system and clearly not on the same plane as those about UK’s.
It’s really interesting how the US has managed to get a health system that’s extremely expensive, doesn’t cover everybody, is highly bureaucratic and complex, delivers below average outcomes and has overworked hospital staff. And somehow people defend this system because it works fine for the top few percent (especially the people in Congress) and people who have Medicare or VA.
The defenders of the system are entirely medical workers and owners.
The various medical lobbies/cartels are incredibly strong.

I do not understand how Obamacare would resolve this issue. This seems to be related to the lack of income; how would Obamacare or Medicaid fix this?
So in rural areas where you have more people in poverty, if they had health insurance hospitals would be better able to actually collect payment for the legally required services they provide.
