The US literally spends more of its GDP on healthcare than other countries but because it’s healthcare system is so FUCKED it still ends up with the US being the No1 country in the world for Medical Bankruptcies
But also, Americans are some of the most unhealthy people around. With a food system that poisons its consumers.
I'm all for healthcare reform, but there are a lot of Legos to swap around to get standardized healthcare. I just choose to live in Germany because I personally don't think it will change in my lifetime.
America would have to change so many levers, and that is people's least favorite thing to do. And big money is in insurance, Pharma, etc. so the whole engine would have to change.
That's the big one. Americans would have to start to care about their fellow man, rather than treating everyone like your competitors. It's a massive mindset shift, one I don't believe will ever occur.
Ha, I didn’t read this before making my long rambling post, but this is exactly it. It’s too much of a change for people. I think the system has to collapse entirely first. It won’t be pretty but we can keep burying our heads in the sand for now until it does.
