Leftists are obviously braindead but further to the point, did you know that health care in the US was embarrassingly cheap (embarrassing for doctors, that is) until doctors lobbied the government and formed a monopoly? http://www.freenation.org/a/f12l3.html
The solution to high health care costs in the US is to dismantle medicine as a field and industry, and probably academia as a whole, and rebuild it sans cancer. This would solve most of society's problems, from woke totalitarianism to the covid response catastrophe to the competence crisis etc.
I've read this story before, and the mechanism is somewhat different now. The government is now captured in such a way that they limit the number of doctors themselves. They don't need any AMA to do it. The various people that benefit from healthcare being expensive do the lobbying just fine.
"Lodge practice" is what we would call the HMO. Sounds less good by that name.

Great link. Worthy of its own post.
I had always wondered about Shriners and others and what they were all for.
