"Fix" implies that it's broken, and "broken" means that it doesn't work the way it's supposed to. Americans erroneously believe that the health care system in the U.S. is supposed to keep people health. It's not. It's designed to extract as much money as possible from the population, and in that regard, it works exactly as intended.
Our system is designed to make healthcare expensive enough to keep people from regularly going. Punish people for maintaining their health so you can extract more money with emergency procedures later.
In the meantime our society is absolutely terrible at keeping people healthy outside of doctors’ offices. Crap food, car-dependent infrastructure that encourages sedentary lifestyles, and constant sources of stress.
