I know that is the talking point, but that is not my lived experience. I have been on 5 regular meds for chronic conditions and I currently pay less than $25/mo with my insurance plan. Twelve years ago I did a 18 month stint doing freelance work with no health insurance and paid about the same.
Those same 5 meds are probably free in most EU countries and even some south american ones. It could also be given for free in the US at a fraction of the total spending but that would impact the GDP too much.
