Respectfully I would say there are a lot more problems than that going on. The federal government has an incredibly dark history with Puerto Rico regarding health, the rhoads scandal alone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelius_P._Rhoads#Scandal but also human experimentation and other misdeeds compounded by the complex status of it as an american territory.

That's true and a part of history everyone should learn more about. But also, unrelated to the current discussion.

The insurance companies dismantling a good public system was a pretty recent action, mostly in the 90s although the damage has taken a while to propagate.
