    They like to push the blame on:

    1. “Torts” because why allow people killed or very injured by crappy medical practice to sue? /s
    2. “Government regulation” because we all know that the US government is just out of hand when it comes to regulatory assistance to the public /s (Seriously though the fact that the government got involved proves that people were bleeding out of the ass for decades after being fucked so hard by the healthcare and health insurance industries)
    3. Greedy healthcare facilities …now these sometimes could carry maybe 0.5% of the blame, but (a) they’re actually providing a service, and (b) it’s not always the case that they’re trying to rake you over the coals…sometimes they’re just trying to keep the lights on

      A few major issues that immediately spring to mind: corporate/wealthy individual lobbiests, insurance corporations buying up entire practice providers/insurance-owned pharmacies, such as CVS.
