The problem is that the healthcare industry spends billions lobbying for laws that allow them to do this. Charge astronomical fees for life-saving medications. No other industry in America gets away with this.
There's a reason neither side addresses this because someone's getting paid to pass these laws.
It seems to me the solution is just to adopt government subsidized healthcare like the rest of the civilized world, but America will flip out about "socialism" while continuing to let the healthcare industry rob us blind
