Nobody wants to cure $#@! anymore. That would be like making an iPhone you'd never have to replace or upgrade for life.
Saddling your population with subscription costs for chronic care instead of a cure represents a massive public drain on any country's GNP. That's wasted money no matter what political side you take.
But at least where you are, the government plays a role in price controls. Which explains why your prices for the same procedures are merely a fraction of what they cost here. The best we have in the U.S. for that is leverage through Medicare. Instead it's left as a bizarre negotiation of arbitrary pricing between insurance companies and health care providers.
This is one area where, if the system stands as it is in the U.S. with third-party payers, the U.S. needs
more government involvement in healthcare and not less.
That should cause some blood and bile to spit up among a number of folks here.
They also need matching black hoodies with things like "The Insane 22 Congressional District" written across the back.
