“Conservatives tend to blame poor education results on the fact that it almost fully government controlled, while liberals tend to blame poor healthcare results on the fact that it isn’t fully government controlled.”
This is the precisely root of the problem. The US healthcare system is the result of a complex political compromise that splits control over the medical costs between the government, insurance companies and patients. Efficient healthcare system requires some entity to be fully in charge of the costs. This entity can be the government or private individuals but it can’t be both.
