One bit that does not stand up is :
"One of the reasons it is exorbitant (just one) is because of the expense of providing care for those that cannot pay or can pay little. "
How come I am lending guys money to pay for healthcare in the US?? I also know a few who just cannot get health insurance (cos of "exisiting conditions") at any reasonable price.

You are lending money because you choose to...not because they cannot get health care. Medical care is available to all that require it. It is very expensive to get medical insurance with a "serious" pre exisiting condition...and can be difficult to find an insurer. The key of course is do not wait until you become seriously ill to purchase insurance.
You surely understand that the US is a capitalistic society based upon free enterprise and the majority of Americans are basically against government run socialistic programs.
FYI medical care in the US is not something that anyone has to pay "for" but instead pay "at". Payments are acceptable based upon ones abilitity to pay.
