John RossThe only way this makes any sense is to assume that the US healthcare system was designed to make money, and not to take care of patients
Flakmagnet@johnrossmd the USA doesn’t have a healthcare system. It has a health insurance INDUSTRY. It shows.
FearlessJuan@flakmagnet @johnrossmd True. For those who don't know, part-time employers don't pay benefits (health care, social security). There's ppl working 2 part-time jobs, often in the same franchise, bc they won't get hired full-time.
There are employers paying starvation wages instructing their employees how to get public assistance. Taxpayers subsidizing corporate greed.
Healthcare is not a system. It's a market.

US doctors want to see you again and again. Each visit brings in money.
Socialized medicine Dr's want to heal you, send you home and see you only for your annual checkup.
Private health insurance overhead is 30%. Medicare (the socialized medicine for retirees) is 10%.
There's many ppl poised to lose a lot of money if Medicare was expanded to all.
