What makes you think that? I mean I have zero trust in the governments but faking that big numbers would not be easy, I guess.

Health is deceptive. The biggest health expense is Medicaid which is insurance for the indigent. Many if not most doctors do not accept Medicaid because the reimbursement rate is lower than private insurance. The subpar quality of Medicaid recipients is another reason for not accepting it
