mrlynn has it... the 'bill' everyone gets is screamingly complicated, hideously pricey, and completely meaningless.
Why ?
Laws. Regulations. Political Complexities. Business complexities produced by interlocking unrelated 'systems' that can't or won't talk to each other or even speak the same language. Every time a politician says " I'm going to write a law to SAVE you money" they mean "I'm going to write a law to force you to pay for a lot of bureaucrats."
And the people who actually provide the care ? They hate it. They want to practice medicine, not deal with insurance companies and government Bovine Feces.
But that is now the legally mandated reality. Most people are forced into this mandatory privatized insurance racket. We had a chance to make meaningful, long lasting changes to health care, but we ended up with a political compromise because the one party controlling both the legislative and executive branches at the time kowtowed to these huge business interests. On the flip side, the other party has their heads so far up their butt on this issue, they were proposing no real changes. Complete boondoggle.
