The US government doesn’t run the healthcare system, and yes voters consistently choose to keep it this way.

No.

How is "voters choose to have a system that optimizes for profit" an example of "corruption?"

Please explain your logic step by step.

Government chose the system, not the voters. And the government chose the system that benefits the private sector not the population because of corruption(call it lobbying if that makes it easier for you) from the private sector.

I've never heard Americans say "I want a system that costs me a lot, makes other people rich and give me northing in return".

Explain how that isn't corruption.
