@wgiwf @Paleface There is an immense amount wrong in how medicine is dealt with in the US. All price controls will do is make it so no more drugs are developed here. Which might be fine.

But the ultimate problem is that medicine isn't a food. It's not a finite good, there is no limit to what you can spend.

You can always add more scans, more diagnostics, try to catch things earlier, try to keep people alive longer.
