Our current health-care system is built around guaranteeing massive profits for the insurance industry; that system is wasteful and it costs too much. And our tax system is now built around avoiding taxes for corporations and the very wealthy. Hmmm. how could we possibly do better?

I completely agree and think the power of government can also be used to encourage healthy citizens. If we regulated food and food manufacturers the way the EU does and changed building codes to require walkable cities and towns, the present burden on the healthcare system would be reduced and the average person would suffer less from “lifestyle” diseases.
