There's this ongoing blame game within the healthcare industry that makes it just really confusing to understand, like, why this problem exists in the first place.

The bottom line is, like, you can look across a bunch of different metrics, but one consistent finding across them, when you compare the United States to healthcare in other wealthy countries, what you always find is that the U.S. pays more money for healthcare, and on average, you know, taken collectively, gets worse outcomes.

That's been the pattern of health care politics, is people get really mad about it, but then either nothing happens or somebody tries to change something and then voters punish them. We saw this like back in the 90s with the Clinton health reform effort. We even saw it with Democrats in 2008 and 2010.

There's not just one blueprint for doing it. A bunch of different countries do it in a bunch of different ways, but they share that sort of underlying understanding or goal that we are going to cover everybody and provide some level of baseline medical coverage and services to anybody, no matter what. their ability to pay.

But the United States kind of stands alone as the wealthy country that has not done that. Like there are all kinds of ideas about what to do to try to make healthcare better, but getting everybody to agree on what to prioritize and where to focus is really hard when you've got this finger pointing within the healthcare industry about what the problem really is.
