I agree with your analysis and comments about the US system. For the sake of discussion I will say that it's possible for the US system to be feasible, medicine for a profit. The trouble IMO is that the humans operating the model to not know the difference between right and wrong, or do know the difference but don't care. Greed is always a factor with humans.

Comparing to healthcare/medicine being practiced by the state, both were utterly compromised in the Scamdemic, but it seems in theory a state run version with close oversight might be able to work. It does work in other countries, but they both have their problems.

How much should someone make who has devoted nearly 20 years to their education?

where do foreigners go for medical treatment?

For certain procedures, folk travel to France, US, UK, Germany etc..

The only thing America does is buy companies up and then claim they're the best country. There's a thread somewhere about none US medical companies. I found the odd one, but when you read about the others, still based in Europe but bought by Yanks. And right on cue, here's another Yank struggling to get their fat head through the door.

Liberals are always quoting MediaBiasFactCheck, so here ya go:


In review, The Commonwealth Fund generally promotes access to healthcare for all. There isn’t use of loaded language, and all information is properly sourced to low biased and scientific sources. There is a left-leaning bias politically as they support universal healthcare, which is considered the policy of progressive democrats

Commonwealth Fund - Bias and Credibility

LEFT-CENTER BIAS These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording

Overall, the U.S. is #11 — last — on access to care (Exhibit 1). The U.S. has the poorest performance on the affordability subdomain, scoring much lower than even the next-lowest country, Switzerland (Exhibit 5). Compared to residents of the U.S., residents of the Netherlands, the U.K., Norway, and Germany are much less likely to report that their insurance denied payment of a claim or paid less than expected. Residents of these countries are also less likely to report difficulty in paying medical bills (Appendix 4).

People in the countries performing the best on the timeliness subdomain are more likely to be able to get same-day care and after-hours care. The U.S. ranked #9 on timeliness.

The most important metric by far is the quality of healthcare.

As for timeliness, it would help if we weren’t providing “free” healthcare to 10+ million illegals and counting.

US health system ranks last compared with peer nations, report finds

Despite Americans paying nearly double that of other nations, the US fares poorly in list of 10 countries

In spite of Americans paying nearly double that of other countries, the system performed poorly on health equity, access to care and outcomes.

Last.

I dont think its an indictment of the hospitals It is more a comment on the actual system.

Healthcare is an open sore in the colonies. But the US is no nearer a solution

Health equity? What a dumb fuck.

That with Dems being in charge 12 of the last 16 years. Go figger,

Quality is irrelevant when you cant access care.

 

[GMCGeneral]

They made a doc of Obamas struggle to get a decent healthcare system.
All against GOP obstruction.
So there were many compromises.
However it is wildly popular.
Meanwhile we can only speculate on trumps "concept of a plan".
Cynics might think that he didnt have a plan.

"Decent" means Soviet style government run Communist Healthcare. No thanks

That is a misnomer. Anyone in the US, even illegals, can walk into a hospital and get care.

Health equity? What the F is that? The fact you think such a thing exist, is why you are still a subject of the crown, and we are no longer a colony.

Very true....it actually sucks.

That is a good point, if you can’t use something, no matter how good it is, it doesn’t matter.

 

[Dragonlady]

Same with you dragonlady..you should avoid the U.S. at all costs! If you were to get sick, that would be a bad thing..stay up in Canada where healthcare is free and timely!

I often go to the USA but I buy travellers insurance.

You should stay in your home with the doors and windows closed and locked for fear you encounter real humans when you leave the house.

Decent means not being bankrupted by healthcare bills.

The solution is to take care of your own health.

Of course the system is terrible.
Of course the insurance companies have too much power.
Of course the government is useless.

You have to take care of your own health, eat correctly and exercise. Minimize use of medicines. Get enough sleep. Use alternate treatments, and natural supplements when you can. Beat the system.

In American hospitals, the windows won’t even open. I was told by the nurse that if they did open, people would jump out of them.

As long as you come here and spend money, you are fine, we don’t want you staying.
