Perhaps an example of how the working class and poor dealt with health care before the government fixed it will demonstrate to you what really happened when the progressives and the AMA got their way in the early twentieth century.

You might spend some time contemplating how government increases the costs of medical care and everything else.  You might also want to spend some time contemplating what government really is but I know that will never happen.

The real question you ignore is, what kind of care do you want?  If 19th century care is good for you, including the dying young part of that, then you can use that model.  If you want modern medicine and the benefits it provides, then the cost structure needs to be addressed, but so does the payment structure.  I have three grandchildren who are here because they were born as preemies and lived the first weeks of their lives in a NICU.  My son and DIL had great insurance that covered the bill, which topped $1,000,000.  Most of that was the cost of using the specialty facility, which included an around the clock nursing staff and on-call specialists.  In the 19th century, they would have died, along with my DIL.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
