I somewhat agree with you, and have empathy. My mom has UC and it sucks. Especially now that she is in a nursing home with dementia.
Here is something most people don't think about though. Obamacare is a huge reason why costs go up for treatments and meds. Just like Pell Grants and student loans for college. If the government subsidizes something, the places that provide the service or make the product will always raise their prices because the govt will continue to pay - forcing the US taxpayer to cover their overspending.
I agree the insurance industry should be abolished, but big pharma needs reigned in immediately.

There are a lot of ancaps out there who used to argue that insurance was a great solution for a lot of market issues.
Not mandatory insurance, obviously. Not sure if they still think those theories are a good idea, but it was interesting to chew on.
But yeah pharma can get bent.
