Surely the biggest issue is the expense of medical treatment and drugs. America is profiteering far too much on this with extremely overpaid medical professionals. Whatever insurance there is still has to account for these extreme charges so premiums are high. At the moment I'm guessing there is an under-supply of medical professionals. I think you need more people medically trained and a more competitive environment to bring down prices. The drug companies and doctors are working together to maximise profits for themselves with the patient seen as little more than a wallet to empty. It's never going to be cheap but the US system seems excessively expensive.
