US healthcare spend is 2.5x South Korea’s GDP. It’s an entirely different beast to administer. There’s no magic wand.

The reality is that healthcare is hyperinflationary everywhere, and the US is farther along the curve than any other country.

The US private healthcare system will be inefficient because it tries to apply market solutions across the board for a problem that isn’t well served by the market.

Yet it’s extraordinarily inefficient because the private sector fights against any level of price-of-service transparency, which means even market forces cannot and do not apply.

This problem has been well-studied and the solutions (more than one) are also well-known.

The magic wand here is the blinders that have been pulled by politicizing healthcare.

There is still paperwork for nationalized systems.
