    We've invested a lot of money in a very boutique hyper-specialized form of health care where a handful of heavily credentialed professionals are the only ones technically qualified to deliver services.

    Then we've invested a lot of money in "urgent care" and other McHealthcare services, where a plethora of general practitioners can bill $5000/visit for putting you on a saline drip or handing you an ankle brace.

    And we've invested a lot of money in carceral services, such that anyone with sever physical or mental issues stuck out on the street are vacuumed up into concentration camps state prisons to be warehoused until they die.

    But after that, we don't have any money left (excuse me, cutting another $40B check to Ukraine) because government is just not a good medium for delivering public services for some reason.
