We already spend trillions on healthcare per year and it’s continuing to grow at an exponential rate. Health spending is quickly approaching 20% of our GDP. Not sure single payer is the answer but our current system is effectively legalized price gouging.
the answer would be to do away with government subsidies entirely and to let the market bring costs under control, these subsidies create price floors.
A huge reason we're being gouged is because big pharma has exercised their constitutional right to use their capital to buy off Congress. Thus allowing them to set the outrageous prices without negotiation and barring Americans from buying affordable meds from across the border. One subsidy we need to be rid of is the legalized bribery of politicians.

they can only do that because the US government buys so many drugs in the first place.
