Exactly! We do a great job for the very poor, who can walk into an emergency room anywhere, and can't be turned away, and for the very rich, who can afford the best surgeons and other medical practitioners. It's those in the middle, whether insured or not, that are poorly served.

I am in good health, but my wife is not so fortunate, as she suffers from chronic illnesses like diabetes and endocrine problems that require her to see 5-6 different doctors. Thankfully, we have excellent insurance coverage, but it never fails to amaze me that these doctors NEVER talk to each other, and will prescribe medications for her that sometimes interact poorly with each other.
