Average health care spend in the US is $10k per person. Somebody still has to pay for it

19. As has been pointed out

a sizeable portion of that is administrative costs, and the drug monopolies , the collusion of insurance, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies to get prices as high as possible. Once the incentive to do that has been eliminated, prices would be more in line with the per capita expenditures of other OECD countries.

The second prong of bringing down health care expenditures is to change the culture that makes people sick. No more overworked, underpaid, no vacation, status quo. You wouldn't work a beast or a machine the way that this country expects low-wage workers to function. The result is they have no rest, inadequate diets, incredible stress, and become disabled and very sick much earlier than a person should. Low wages cost much more in the long run.
