What good does having the most advanced healthcare technology do for the country if only a tiny select few can afford it? It is better for a country to have average healthcare that is accessible to all rather than very advanced healthcare that is accessible to very few

The percentage of people with health insurance coverage for all or part of 2019 was 92.0 percent. - https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2020/demo/p60-27...

Please do not make misleading statements such as that it's accessible to a very few.

Do you wish to imply that all of that 92% really has access to the most advanced healthcare the country has to offer?

Yes, actually most of them do. Take CAR-T therapy for cancer. It was approved by public and private payers pretty quickly after FDA approval.
