No. Healthcare is not the single largest expense in most government budgets. Just the US.
No. Healthcare systems are not collapsing due to cost.
No. Healthcare is not inherently expensive. It's just the US.
No. Healthcare is not an 'expense' it is an investment. Without a healthy society you have a failed society.
Practically every single developed or near-developed country has gotten public healthcare correct.
It is the US and a handful of other developing countries that do not have a system in place, primarily due to unstable governments, warlords, and or being a colony not allowed to develop its own public services.
