Yes, or government intervention that looks good on paper and disastrous in practice.

Somehow people have this notion that healthcare should be treated differently than other service industries.

I would argue that the least amount of government control yields to the best result. There is only the size limitations (antitrust) that had potentially good outcomes. We could simply ban m&a above a certain size and make the externalities have an impact on revenue and that would be probably enough.

Somehow US citizens have this notion that healthcare is a universal problem and that US-problems are not self inflicted.

Everywhere else in the civilized world, you pay less and have better service. The US has the highest degree of industry meddling, most middlemen cashing out and the least governmental regulation. You are objectively being lied to.
