Scams are intentional attempts to deceive. The health care industry is a different beast entirely. Health insurance might be a rip off, but it's not really a scam. The politics that goes on behind the scenes might be corrupt, but it's not a scam. I think your conceptualization is the problem and it is you that needs to change the "scope of your thinking" or lack thereof. There are major problems with the health care industry as it exists in the USA, but attempting to categorize it as some kind of scam is an obvious square-peg-round-hole kind of mistake.
