In a way, he's not wrong. It is a culture thing but it's a culture that needs changing. The emphasis is on fixing health issues, not preventing them in the first place. There's an attitude that there is a device/procedure/medicine that can take care of anything, which leads to stupidly large sums of money being spent chasing lost causes and ridiculous medicines to the masses.
As for administration, of course the costs are out of control. Each medical facility has to bill multiple (in the dozes if not 100+ in some cases) insurance companies. Every procedure has to be "coded." The current ICD 10 coding book runs to 1250 pages.
Then there are the doctors. Some are people who are in it because they want to help and it's a calling, not a job. In my experience though, most are there purely for the money and prestige. Six-figure salaries is putting it mildly. Most I've known have been making closer to 7 and running all kinds of businesses and ventures on the side. They seem to like to dabble in property and politics mainly.
Of course, there's a fix for all this. Expand Medicare to all. That would take care of a lot of the admin overhead. Make medical school free or highly subsidized and encourage people who want to be in medicine for the right reasons.
