Yes there's a lot of insider football problems with the healthcare industry as well. Just the basic fact that there isn't any negative feedback in the system to encourage people to stop receiving or reduce the amount of medical care they're receiving is a huge problem that causes healthcare costs to spiral out of control. It's more in the system's interest that an 800 pound man stay 800 pounds and receive all the treatments necessary to keep him alive at that weight than to tell him to lose 650 pounds.
But people like my mom don't care about that. They care that her mom has to spend $XXXX on the pills she needs but some dude gets his dick chopped off for free because he thinks he's a woman. Or that they had to wait X months for some procedure while there's free clinics for illegal aliens that for some reason we aren't deporting. Basic fairness stuff for people who are paying into a system that seems more interested in catering to people who don't.
