And this is why the very concept of health insurance is flawed from the start. Health care should not be a profit center. We pay taxes to the government (in the USA) to provide communally needed structures and services such as roads, utility poles, streetlights, and emergency services to name a few examples. Everyone should be paying a little bit more in taxes to provide medical care for everyone, just like they do in so many other nations.

Making a profit off of people's illness and misfortune is frankly obscene.

    We wouldn't even need to spend more in taxes. We already spend more per capita for Medicare/Medicaid than Canadians do for universal.
