Just look into the budget of say Sweden which is more rural than America, if the average gross salary is $2500/mo, around 30% of that income goes to municipality tax. Only 10% of that is county tax. That's all the money the county, which are in charge of healthcare has to spend.
And that covers not only the hospitals, but also public transit, the ambulance service, (trucks, buses and helicopters), all adjustments for handicapped, say that you need a wheelchair ramp, and elevator and more after an accident and a wheelchair friendly bathroom in your house, the county pays for that with tax money. It covers elder care, assistant living facilities, and even people who visit elderly regularly to check and help them clean their house, buy groceries etc.
And then there's still millions being stolen through corruption and illegals cheating the system pretending to be handicapped or who doesn't even live in the country. Somehow the system still operates around +/- 0 profit/loss.
