It's insane to me that healthcare looks like this in the US, I mean I live in an objectively weaker economy and my healthcare is vastly better in terms of cost, availability and has no hard ties to employment.

That is crazy messed up. My gut feel is that it's again down to the corporate shareholder problem, where infinite growth is demanded. It's defies belief that this hasn't been fixed, and really makes me think that overall we may be losing the war of greed vs humanity.

I had a guy argue with me once that US is better than other countries because we have choice in health insurance and I said most people have healthcare tied to their employer who chooses what options they have and this dude argued we ultimately have the choice because we choose where to work.
