Well the government does run it all in a way, so how about all of the above? Everyone involved in health care has contributed to its current state: the politicians who use health care funds like their own piggy bank, would rather get political leverage from the issue than actually solve any problems, and are happy pawns of the industry lobbyists; the insurance companies for milking every penny in profit they can while providing as few benefits as possible; the small percentage of doctors who ruin it for everyone with careless practices, overtreating, overmedicating, etc.; the pharmeceutical companies who charge unaffordable prices for medications while consistently reporting some of the highest profits of any industry; and the consumers who overmedicate themselves, live unhealthy lifestyles that drive medical costs up, want the highest-quality care immediately without paying for anything, and prefer the status quo to making even the smallest sacrifices or lifestyle change.
