To be fair, Google isn't bad because it can't search, it's bad because it puts advertised results first which is annoying and they keep increasing the amount of adverts over time as they need shekels. At this point almost the whole first page is advertisements posing as search results.
Is healthcare actually absurdly expensive in the US, or is it one of those things where Twitter commies exaggerate and cherrypick because they want a bootleg NHS and Pippa goes along with it as part of her "I don't want to see a doctor" cope?
It's both. Healthcare in the US is retarded and it can be stupidly expensive because of all of the regulation and insurance bullshit, but if you fight it they will usually slash prices and if you don't have insurance, you sometimes end up paying way less than if you do.
Martin Shkreli said it himself, he was giving out the drug for free to anyone who needed it, including illegals, the massive mark up was just to get insurance money because they'd pay regardless. There are also tons of other anecdotes, like on PKA where Woody with insurance paid $2,000 for some aspirin, and Kyle (FPS Russia) paid about $500 dollars for extensive surgery to remove cancer from his eyelid because he didn't have insurance.
They've also done experiments and be cutting out insurance it generally reduced prices substantially.
Oh, and if you want to know how retarded it is, Trump made insulin much cheaper thanks to an EO by allowing sourcing from more places around the world, and Biden killed it along with all the other EO's day one of office because no refunds, fuck you diabetics.
Edit: Oh, and the number of doctors that graduate each year is artificially limited by the government, much like how taxi medallions were (well still are but no one cares because of Uber).
