So you're already paying the most for healthcare in the World, period. What other benefits come with that? 15% of the population not covered by insurance resulting in lives literally being destroyed financially after a major medical incident. All of this and as an added bonus, a shorter average life span than any developed nation.
Only an American could possibly think the American healthcare system works well. Single payer social medical systems completely eliminate the middle layer of insurance bureaucrats and share holder profits. It's money being spent in the name of health care but actually just completely wasted. |
I agree soooooooooooo much with what you wrote. I don't understand how there can be anyone in business who does nor understand that adding money hungry insurance company middlemen has to jack up the cost, with no improvement in actual care.
Either end of the spectrum would be so much better than funneling money to billionaire insurance folks and away from doctors and nurses and hospitals and research and actual humans who need care.
