Heavily interfered how? Canada / UK / Australia have healthcare which is "heavily interfered" as you call it, and they're better off for it

How? The government runs it, and/or heavily regulates it, and shifts costs.

> and they're better off for it

In the US, the cost of medical care rose in step with inflation until 1968. After that, it rose at a much steeper rate, and has not slowed down. 1968 was when the government got involved with health care.

Countries with a heavily-interfered health care system are poorer as a result.

Whoa now.

Consider that getting the government out of healthcare would mean all the rural hospitals close.

Consider who that would most-hurt, while saving you money, before you jump to the humanitarian position. Consider it in light of the 2024 election.
