Well, one way to make healthcare affordable would be to make medical insurance affordable. Given how insurance works, how would we accomplish that goal?
We could pass arbitrary laws and regulations that limit the premiums that insurance companies could charge while completely ignoring the economics of insurance. That would result in the insurance companies leaving the market for more lucrative things to insure, such that then nobody could get medical insurance. That wouldn't work.
Make them non-profit services. If the greedy investors want profits they can invest elsewhere. Then the insurance company can focus on providing care.
Nobody should make a profit off pain, suffering and disease.
Enjoy
