Ban Ki Moon slams US healthcare rip off

[Tommy Tainant]

Ex-UN chief Ban Ki-moon says US healthcare system is 'morally wrong'

The US has the world’s most expensive health system, accounting for nearly one-fifth of American gross domestic product and costing more than $10,348 per American. The United Kingdom, by comparison, spends a little under 10% of GDP according to the latest available statistics, and healthcare is free at the point of delivery.

“It’s not easy to understand why such a country like the United States, the most resourceful and richest country in the world, does not introduce universal health coverage,” said Ban. “Nobody would understand why almost 30 million people are not covered by insurance.”

Failing to provide health coverage, he said, was “unethical” and “politically wrong, morally wrong”. He accused the “powerful” interests of pharmaceutical companies, hospitals and doctors that “inhibit the American government” of having prevented the US from moving towards universal healthcare.

There is an array of vested interests that provides a poor service at twice the cost.

The dreadful American healthcare system is the consequence of failed, wrongheaded conservative political dogma, and the right’s unwarranted hostility to expanding Medicare.

It may not be easy for him to understand, but I understand it perfectly. There is no model that exist that can be duplicated in the US by the federal government. Every other “stellar “ model provides for a dramatically smaller population, demographic, and geographic boundary. See, it isn’t that hard to understand.

We should care what Moon, a UN crony, says why exactly?

He's the jackass that said terrorism is just human nature (speaking of the Palestinians)

He's a jackass

You run down your countrys capabilities. You could do it if you booted out the parasites.

The dreadful American healthcare system is the consequence of failed, wrongheaded conservative political dogma, and the right’s unwarranted hostility to expanding Medicare.

The dreadful American health care system is the consequence of decades of the failed, wrongheaded meddling and interference by haughty progressive do-gooders, who foolishly believe that they legislation can overcome the laws of economics, and their unwarranted hostility toward leaving people the hell alone.
