What will fix Health Care is the total destruction of the Health Insurance and Medical Complex Cartels by use of Sherman Anti-Trust and Wright-Patman along with the RICO statues. That could bring cost down a staggering 80 to 90%, move Health Care cost back to about 5% GDP from 20% of GDP as it is now.
We then could solve the Debt and other budget problems. But it will never happen because the whole of D.C. is bought and paid for.

Health "insurance" is a behemoth that consumes a huge part of our money without providing any benefit at all. We're forced into a system where there are probably 20 people employed that take their skim cut of money between every doctor/patient interaction, the only two who really matter in this whole equation. Those 20 employees bill, audit, and decide how my doctor can treat me without providing any benefit. They're parasitic but consume a huge amount of our health care money. There is really no reason for them to be there other than to siphon off money that could be used for better treatment, medicine, etc. They provide no benefit yet consume a huge amount of healthcare dollars.
A good portion of the money that the health insurance industry siphons from us is used to bribe congress to keep the status quo so they can continue to get rich, so you're correct that it will never change. There are too many people making too much money from this scam for it to ever change voluntarilary.
