It wasn’t poorly written. He had an accurate sense of health care costs vs outcomes. The claim that health care doesn’t cost more in the US is false — bizarrely so.

ETA: bizarrely so because this is well established by economists. It’s not controversial. It’s characteristic of the American health care system as much as income inequality/massive wealth gap is characteristic of the American economy. Read an OECD report — this is the most bizarre claim to make in light of the data and I’m seeing the most bizarre backbends being done to defend it. Disposable income? Costs relative to income?? What on earth.
