I've been sick a few times and didn't bother to consult a physician. I got better. Doctors' waiting rooms are filled with people who would get better on their own, but their employment compensation includes prepaid medicine, so they visit for the slightest sniffles and coughs.
Many people with piles of cash consulted multiple physicians and still kicked the bucket. It is not true that money will always buy a cure. The rich die too.
And you never addressed the role of charity which does much more than provide AIDS treatments to impoverished Africans.
If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's "free."
