Thread regarding Elevance Health (Anthem) layoffs

What are the main reasons health care is so expensive?

In my opinion it comes down to a few factors:

  1. The American diet (poor quality food being the affordable food).
  2. Lawyers who exist to sue everything that moves, especially health care providers.
  3. Artificial barriers (ever longer degree programs) for people working in health care that drive up the wages health care workers must earn after graduation to stay solvent.
  4. A society that typically takes no responsibility for exercising and avoiding junk food.

So, I don't agree with any of this.

In my opinion, healthcare in the US (specified because it's only this expensive here) is so expensive because

a) it's publicly traded
b-z) because it's pubicly traded

Imagine for a moment if shareholder value wasn't a factor.
