That's the kind of reasonable debate about values and priorities that would exist in a sane system.
But the US has a certifiably insane system. The government spends more on healthcare per capita here than the government does in France. To be clear: that's excluding private spending.
Some of that is certainly driven by a higher GDP per capita, but it's still ridiculous even when accounting for that.
