That's well and good, but is it his fault that the government, hospitals, doctors, manufacturers, and insurance providers actively collude to keep costs high? To keep costs rising? And then to mandate payment for services (read: insurance) that basically only serve to make a bunch of investors richer? And actively legislate and regulate to death anybody trying to fix the system or implement an alternative?

No, no it's not his fault. Healthcare is fucked.

Of course it isn't. But it is partially his fault for not getting some kind of (cheap!) catastrophic insurance that's available.
