I mean they are right. Nobody sane is going to give American healthcare a medal. Its a lot of money for poor quality. The question is the cause and what to do about it. The Left unfortunately has managed to tie recognizing there is a problem with automatically accepting their solution for it.

Recently moved from Ohio where the healthcare was great - generally available doctors, specialists, and services (many choices for x-ray to CAT scans and MRIs: available within a day). New Mexico feels like a third world country, 6 months to find an available general practitioner which was required to enable getting a referral for specialists as they don’t take referrals from out of state. Then months to schedule needed procedures. Found the root cause - the Democrats running the state imposed essentially a sales tax on Dr. Income. They have to pay the tax on services they provide, can’t be passed onto the patient. Doctors generally leave if they can. Shortage of Doctors is unreal. Was in hospital a couple of months ago, half the doctors I met were from other countries (2 from Africa) and hadn’t been around more than a couple of years.
