No its a healthcare system problem. Its not a problem with the actual healthcare - its a problem with the overall distribution and cost of that healthcare.
The US healthcare system is highly inefficient, and does not reach a significant portion of the population. As such it falls short of most other western nations by most measures in which healthcare is measured.
Also while I agree the US government has always seemed to me to be a bit of a disaster I don't see how they could possibly run a less efficient healthcare system than the private sector in the USA. It would take some doing.
