... and what realistic way would you cut that cost?
How bout instead of me teaching you something.. You teach me and explain how 30,000 is reasonable for 5 minutes.. How is 6,000 a minute reasonable?? Or realistic..
I was in a hospital ER for 6 hours, flown to another hospital and the bill from the original ER was only 6,000..
So I ask again.. How is 30k reasonable for 5 minutes..
Exactly.
Other countries control costs by making medical schools cheaper to attend, reducing the cost of drugs, eliminating useless procedures and tests, using electronic records, streamlining admins, limiting malpractice, paying doctors less, and covering everyone, so the most expensive medical care there is, the emergency room, is used less often.
Every other industrialized nation in the world has national health insurance, and they pay HALF per capita what we pay for healthcare because they do these things.
So there it is in a nutshell, my friends. This is how the rest of the world does healthcare better and cheaper than we do.
