the healthcare system in america is fucked because of government intervention in the first place HMOs ruined market competition for everybody when it comes to insurance and as for actual procedures the AMA has done a fantastic job of cartelization so that now they can ask any price they want and you'll pay it while simultaneously blaming the republican party (somehow) for such high prices

meanwhile what the democrats are trying to get right now is for even higher prices to be paid, both for prescription medicines and procedures, only not paid by the actual patient, but instead by the government instead aka single-payer aka the soviet socialist healthcare system aka rationing care

They want everyone to have the right to medical treatment. Republicans would be content with people dying in the streets, they want to move us backwards. They remind me a lot of Islamic finatics with a different religion.

everyone has the right to m,edical treatment under the current system not sure why you think it needs to change and not sure why you think forcing everyone to buy insurance is a solution
