Plenty of other medical examples also.

That’s because the US healthcare system is garbage.
Look across Western Europe and they don’t have those issues, despite having a lot of private involvement in their healthcare.

No kidding. But it’s specifically capitalist garbage and it’s the for- profits companies involved in it top to bottom who strongly resist reforms.
