Why is healthcare so expensive in the United States compared to other developed countries?

Question

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!

Answer 1

Other countries pay over 50%of their wages to the government. Other country’s citizens often spend years on waitlists for treatment. People with money come to the US because they can get the best health care in the world and can actually get seen by a doctor.
