I never understood this because other countries have free healthcare and we don’t! We get sick and it’s expensive to even pay for anything!

US healthcare assumes you have a job that provides health insurance, and provides government healthcare to people who’ve aged out of their job. Because almost every job does this, the sticker price isn’t something most people actually pay.
This obviously causes issues for people whose jobs provide poor or no health insurance, but those jobs are relatively rare, so it doesn’t effect enough people for there to be a significant push for change. Even most entry level jobs provide enough health insurance to pay for preventative care and cover most minor injuries, and major injuries/disease aren’t common.
