Why isn't healthcare free/low cost in USA?
But doesn't the government provide some sort of assistance to help people afford healthcare?
Yes, there are a number of government programs designed to help low-income individuals and families access healthcare. These include Medicaid, which provides free or low-cost coverage to those who meet certain income and eligibility requirements, as well as Medicare, which provides coverage to those over 65 and certain individuals with disabilities. However, many people still fall through the cracks and are unable to access affordable healthcare.
