You hit the nail on the head with that one. Their priority is not healthcare. It makes a difference. I only found out recently that one of the reasons some people are against universal healthcare is that they think the eye-watering amounts charged to US patients are the actual cost of treating the broken bone or supervising birth complications or etc etc, and that their taxes will balloon as everyone's costs are covered, but the actual cost is nothing like that. From the bills I've seen, the actual cost of treatment is rarely a tenth of the bill that lands.
