Maybe you are young and/or lucky, but you'll find over time an increasingly disconcerting amount of friends&family dying preventable/otherwise treatable (with screening) deaths from cancer.
Note I said "from an individuals perspective". It is possible for the system to be optimized from a cost/benefit system level perspective without it providing the best possible outcome for each individual. Given that its run by the government & for-profit insurance, this is probably the case.
I think it is a bit hard to argue that the US medical system in general is perfect, and beyond reproach. Let alone the gaps in our pro-active cancer screening. Places like South Korea and China do far more, with less.
