Yes. People in the middle are getting screwed, but what's the solution? Put everybody under the gentle ministrations of a government infested with rats? What we need is to go back to the days when every town did the best it could, and the community hospital was supported by the local community, to the best of its ability, and not with promises they'd have to borrow from our children's futures to keep.
We helped a lot more people for a lot less when doctors were hired by the local community and did their best to turn no one away. No bureaucracy. Just "All he can afford is a pig and 4 bushels of corn, so that's what I'm charging." Instead of virtue-signaling on the national stage, local do-gooders would virtue-signal in the local community by raising money for the local hospital. Make it something your community is proud of. When the feds are paying for it, you lose all of that.
That's a major problem, but probably the biggest problem is the corruption that sets in when it's all centralized, and one guy screwing up or simply with mal intent, can wreck health care for everybody. (See "Anthony Fauci.").
But until it starts rotting too much from within, a lot of people think they're getting something really great that they can't afford.

We've got left and right confused. The so-called left, with its big-government entitlements, regulations, and sprawling bureaucracies is actually just a return to feudal forms, where the state/king/queen/Lords-and-Ladies provide for the peasants and the peasants, in turn, must obey them in everything. Where we're all in violation of some rule, and it's just a question of who we pissed off whether we go to jail or not.
The entire socialism project is like that. Just somebody trying to figure out a way to get free stuff without actually doing any work, and all the dummies who believe you can just wave a wand, take from Joe over there (at gunpoint) and give to Pete over there, just so long as Pete remains obedient.

There was no internet until I was out of high school. As soon as it came out, I was using it. For ME, it was perfect, because I no sooner had Calculus II and Differential Equations under my belt than here was this computer algebra system that could perform all the calculations. Every generation after mine had this sort of capability from birth.
I took a break in graduate school (math) to work on bringing the Internet to rural northern Idaho. System programmer, help desk, and general go-fer on a federal grant that brought dial-up Internet to places it had never been. In those days, capabilities were far more limited than today, but hopes and expectations for the future were through the roof, but little did we know at that time what the level of connectivity would one day become or the bandwidth, which is 3 orders of magnitude (1000 times) greater than the crap dial-up that we were so proud of.
I sort of feel like I came along at the perfect time, but as a math professor, I'm seeing more and more 15- and 16-year-olds who are WAY more advanced than I was at that age. At that age, I was discovering girls and looking for the next kegger. If not for a physical handicap that said "Go to college or be a drain on society," I'd've been perfectly content just getting through high school and blue-collar work.
For every kid who gets led astray on the Internet, there are 10 who figure out that what they learned in k-12 was mostly garbage, and the good stuff they learned in high school was delivered in a garbage way. Traditional schools put a lid on your learning. Technology makes the learning as fast as you can take it in.
I can't tell you how many high-school drop-outs I see on the Internet who know the difference between the Frankfurt (socialist) and Austrian (free-market) schools of economics.
You want kids to think more critically? Give them more word problems in their math classes! LOL! Or have them write opinion papers on historical figures. Have them write pro- and con- pieces on each. One thing I learned in school that they don't teach, today, because "the other side is evil and toxic," is "If you don't understand the arguments of "the other side," then you don't understand your own side.
What I see from the so-called "left" are people who can quote Marx, but never heard of Adam Smith, and our entire education system, with few exceptions, consists of indoctrinated socialists who don't understand economics. They just see the fruits of free-market, voluntary transactions as wealth that they should redistribute by force to "those in need."
I help people in need. AND I pay taxes. I could help more people if I paid less in taxes, and there'd be a lot more assistance tailored to the needs of the people I help, on a case by case basis, than all the bureaucrats and all the red tape could ever do, without the 80% overhead that government typically requires. Poverty programs aren't for the poor. They're for the bureaucrats who administer them.

@Hon-Taku I think maybe you're confusing Arwen of Rivendell (elf) with Eowyn of Rohan. There is much "win" in both names.
And Eowyn was pretty faithfully portrayed. She was a shield-maiden. Women didn't go out on recon missions like the men did, because their job was to defend their homes. Speaking of which, I know the orcs are supposed to be bad and they should be able to overrun a village rather easily, but I expected the villagers to put up more fight. I have no idea how that would have moved their completion date back, how much it would cost, or if it would even make the final cut in an already-bloated run time for American theaters.
They might have cast a bigger woman or more obviously athletic woman. She might've been more believable trying to pass as a man that way, but as I recall, the riders immediately around her knew what was up and they respected her decision.
I personally would probably watch an "Adventures of Arwen," especially if Liv Tyler's still got it, which I think she does. I think she was centuries-old by the time she met Aragorn. Google says she was 2700 years old and Aragorn was 20 the first time they met. Imagine how skilled of a fighter she could be by that age! I think Rings of Power tried to build that into Galadriel, but they made her a Mary Sue. It's not she's the only "millennial" who ever picked up a sword.
