Healthcare in the US is broken and they won’t let you fix it because the money is too good. Think about the fact that PBMs, which is there to save and manage on pharma is incentivized to promote drug price inflation. That’s just one “small” piece of this clusterf*k. It’s layers and layers of these convoluted system of incentives.

As to OP, the simplest solution is to move out of the US early enough or become “poor” enough and be in a wealthy blue state by the time you get to this predicament.

I think the broader extrapolation is that the social contract has emerged around giving private enterprise wide latitude to promote the public welfare. However that does mean that the quality of said welfare entirely revolves how profitable you are to said enterprise. While great for airline tickets, its a tragedy for healthcare.
