Yes, all of them are not true about health care costs.... .because there is no fix for a socialized system. There is no fix for Medicare. There simply isn't. It has to be reformed, or eliminated. You can't fix socialism.
You can't fix a for-profit medical insurance system that "earns" shareholder ROI by denying needed medical procedures:
A majority of Americans with employer-based health insurance don't mind if it changes to Medicare for All — as long as they can keep their current coverage
"Over 59% of respondents who receive health insurance through their employer said in a new INSIDER poll they would be fine if that plan changed, as long as it meant no change in coverage."
Sure you can.
In fact, for-profit medical care has worked the world over. Even to this day, in some of the countries that have government care, private for-profit care is thriving.
The only difference is, that the poor are almost shut out from good care.
The reason is, because with gov-care, you can't market to low-income people, so no such services for middle to low income patients exists.
So only the people who can afford quality care, can get good care. The poor are just left to die.
Take for example, Germany. Germans pay high taxes, for their government-care system. Yet nearly most of the country has private insurance on top of the government-care, because gov-care sucks. They all admit this. If you want good quality care you have to buy private insurance... of course you still pay the high taxes for the crap government care.
And for the poor class, the high taxes make it difficult to pay for private insurance. So your system destroys the poor.... which ironically you claim to be helping, by making them poor with high taxes.
And you see that around the world.
Canadian Health Care: Private Health Insurance
Canada now has private insurance provided by many companies.
Why? I thought Canada health care covered everything?
Timely Medical | Timely Surgery at Affordable Prices
How come people are paying money to get health care through for-profit brokers like this company? Well actually the reason is in the name.... Timely Medical.
People wait years in Canada, to get services that in the US would take days.
For-profit medical care has been saving lives from gov-care system around the world for literally decades. Take for example, medical tourism. People talk about US patients going for abroad for health care, which is true.
But are they going to socialized systems? Or even more capitalist systems? Answer: more capitalists systems.
They are not going to government run hospitals in Europe, or elsewhere. They are going to free-market for-profit capitalist hospitals. The 3 largest medical tourism hospitals in Singapore, are all free-market for-profit capitalist based hospitals. Hospitals not under the control of government, not heavily regulated and subsidized.
In short, Americans going for medical tourism, are going to health care providers that are less socialized than our own. The US health care system is highly regulated, highly controlled, and highly subsidized.
It might be less socialized than say Canada, that's true. But it is more socialized than medical tourism hospitals around the world. I'll give you a quick example... Medical tourism hospitals, do not pay for Medicaid and Medicare, that US hospitals do. Thus they don't have to cost shift the burden of government patients, on private patients. Thus it's cheaper to get care at medical tourism hospitals.
