Health care is a very profitable in the US.  When I had bypass surgery
the cost of the operation itself was $10,000 in the US and only $5000 in
Canada, and thanks to our health, my bill was zero. It's about $1,000
per day to be in the hospital but, thanks to government heath care my
bill was zero.   If he really wanted to save Americans of the high cost
of health care they could have a similar program for the people.
Unfortunately there is too much money being made by insurance companies
and health care services do something that would  help the people.

Americans have a lot of trouble doing things for the general good.
They're always afraid that someone else will benefit more from it than
them. Imagine having universal free healthcare, but you're never sick!
And your neighbour has heart attack after heart attack and is
constantly benefiting from the free healthcare that you're paying
towards! Ripped off!
