Now tell me why the US "first world happy dudes" have to pay $2,611 for something "a 3rd-world peasant" like me can get for $40? I'm not talking about free municipal medicine. I've just tried to compare the paid ones, and the results are obvious.
Hey floridian clowns, wanna compare prices/services in private ( paid) dental clinics too?  |
It's unfair to compare US healthcare costs with the rest of the modern world.
UK spends Health Care, £137.9 billion for 66 million in 2015.
1. CVS Health turnover 2014 revenue: $139.4 billion
2. McKesson turnover 2014 revenue: $138 billion
3. UnitedHealth Group 2014 revenue: $130.5 billion
Down to.
10. Aetna turnover 2014 revenue: $58 billion

Data from the OECD show that the U.S. spent 17.1 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP) on health care in 2013. This was almost 50 percent more than the next-highest spender (France, 11.6% of GDP) and almost double what was spent in the U.K. (8.8%). U.S. spending per person was equivalent to $9,086 (not adjusted for inflation).

The US has opted for healthcare to be controlled by big business who are controlled by shareholders, who set the prices.
This is like hitting at a obese man because he can't run as fast.
