This is the problem having public companies as insurance middlemen, their investors demand more return and the health insurance companies fuck over customers, hospitals & the government to keep increasing profit, as they have for decades.
The insurance companies are the problem, they always have been and they'll fuck us under Trumpcare because that's what they do.

i think the problem in US is the "american way of life". wich means there could be millions of working and existing health care systems in the world what could be adopted - america wants to have his own way.
and sure is one of the biggest problems that the health care industry is just another corruption and lobby driven ripp off.
i will not say that spain is the nonplusultra health care system in the world but if i go to a pharmacy here to buy whatever it costs the half or even less as anywhere else because prices are more or less controlled.
same thing with hospitals. yes they have private hospitals but even the public hospitals are highly modern and charge a fraction of the private ones.
the health care system in US is the worst in the whole western world. but it is not like that since trump or obama - it was always like that.
americans are even proud on their 100% free market but the only "freedom" is found in the fact that even companies what are dealing with health (what should not be a privilege) are free to ripp people off.
and the first thing this fuck of a president does is calculating nonsense and eliminating things like obama´s consumer protection law.
i really wonder how comes that americans can think that they are free.
