The Netherlands was (a while back) known for very favorable health-care because had managed to significantly push down the "capitalist profit" component of pharmaceuticals. Government is not necessarily *only* a problem.

All that capitalist profit is why the pharmaceuticals exist in the first place. Spcialists buy American drugs and technology with tax payer money and pretend the government is the hero.

If governments didn't get in the way of startups developing drugs and spending tens of millions on FDA approvals, drugs would be much cheaper.

They are absolutely the only problem

I can't resolve such an extreme into an explanation that works in many countries. Especially given how many countries have health-care that is supported by government. The situation is simply more comprehensive and more complicated than this.
