The private, for profit "health care" industry in the U.S. is a long-running train wreck of greed, corruption, and utter failures to provide quality health care while raking in massive unearned profits.
Out of their spare change, the health care industry is spending over $700 million a year now on tracked
lobbying spend on politicians to keep their spigots of massive profits and no accountability wide open.
$747,522,567 total was spent lobbying in the Health economic sector in 2023. See the details.

And that really is just spare change, the pharma industry alone also invests a billion dollars a month in the U.S. on advertising - mostly trying to get people to request (insanely expensive) drugs from their doctors they probably don't need.
