The fact remains that no one in the U.S. goes without medical necessary
care because of finances. The concern about millions of uninsured in
the U.S. (about 1/2 of which are in the country illegally) is not about
medical care, its about money. Everyone get medical care regardless of
their ability to pay in the U.S.
Mothers and children that do not have medical insurance get better
medical care than most insurance companies can provide as well.

Don't even get me started on malpractice insurance costs, or drug makers
advertising on TV and other places.

They need to advertise profitable products because they are subsidizing
the RND of drugs for the entire planet. The U.S. spends billions on
drug research. Once a new treatment is developed, the rest of the world
demands to receive it for production cost. If you think durg companies
are making money hand over fist, you are perfectly welcome to buy some
of their stock and share their profits. The fact is that the occasional
winfall from a new development comes after decades of pouring money
into research.
