Original Note:
Blaming the high cost of healthcare on a claimed unfair burden of developing "health technologies" and "therapies" is highly misleading. "[O]ther spending categories – particularly hospital and physician payments – are primary drivers of the U.S.’s higher health spending." https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/brief/what-drives-health-spending-in-the-u-s-compared-to-other-countries/#Healthcare%20spending%20per%20capita,%20by%20spending%20category,%202021
