The healthcare system is a lot more fucked up than just pricing. It's also important to be aware that increased access also means longer wait, which can be fatal. Theres some problems that, if solved, would make it far easier to implement free healthcare.

The root of the problem is that it has been made very difficult to survive as a doctor, mostly due to malpractice insurance. In order to stay afloat, they need to overbook. This creates 2 problems. Firstly, they don't have enough time to do their job right. Secondly though, it means you can't reduce the burden by hiring more doctors, cause there just isn't money in the system to pay more doctors, because all the money is siphoned out to insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies. And a bonus 3rd problem is that it makes being a doctor miserable cause you are constantly rushed and can't do your job right.

If malpractice insurance is reduced or downright removed (which can't happen cause of shit court system) then doctors can afford to see like 1/3rd the patients they do now, actually do their job right, and we can afford to pay more doctors so there is no wait. At that point, making it free becomes much more reasonable and you can account for the increase in people going to the doctors.

Big pharma just price gouges the shit of anything they possibly can and they need to be downright shutdown. They are guilty of crimes against humanity as far as I'm concerned. Legit hundreds of millions of people have died for the sake of their profits. No one in human history is responsible for more innocent deaths.
