My point is not that the way administer health care in the US is justified (because its not), it's that the core medical costs would still be relatively expensive here too if you think about what goes into treating a child for that long. We still have to pay our doctors, our nurses, support staff, buy medical equipment, buy medicine etc. Public health care doesn't mean free health care.
Medical systems are intrinsically expensive...which is why it's really stupid that anyone in the US expects a for-profit system to work or why so many of it's citizens think changing it is a bad thing.
