No, there isn't a 50% split; it's a myth of the media that all issues boil down to two equal and opposing sides. There are many perspectives on health care in the US, on what's currently being done well and what's currently being botched, and many ideas on how to fix the problems.

Right now, health insurance companies pay for problems like the ones you had, at a much higher cost than you paid in. In your case, you gambled and won. Not sure why you think that's a virtue, nor why that should be encouraged as a national policy.

Accident/trauma services are generally good. Lifelong debilitating condition services, especially for mental health conditions, are not.
