i think a big part of the health problem would be lawyers, and the litigious society in which we live. it's ridiculous what malpractice insurance costs--and there are too many people who treat an accident as a way to win the lottery. sue sue sue. and then who pays?
i think the biggest problem medical insurance-wise, is that so many choose not to buy coverage. people choose not to afford it, or sign up for their companies benefits--i can't tell you how many times i've gone to new hirees, given them their health insurance packet (which gets cheaper per employee when more employees sign up) and been told 'i don't need it, we never get sick'. who never gets sick? then they do get sick, off to the e.r. spend more on one er visit then they would have spent on premiums for a year. there has to be a better system then what we have, but i don't think that govt run health coverage is the answer. |

“It is commonly believed that waiting lists in other countries and malpractice litigation in the United States are major reasons why the United States spends so much more on health care than other countries. We found that they only explain a small part of the difference,” said Gerard Anderson, PhD, lead author of the study and a professor in the Bloomberg School of Public Health’s Department of Health Policy and Management. The study authors reviewed health care spending data on 30 countries from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) for the year 2003. U.S. citizens spent $5,267 per capita on health care. The country with the next highest per capita expenditure, Switzerland, spent $3,446 per capita. The median OECD country spent $2,193 per capita." |
Americans spend more on health care because of degenerative diseases such as heart disease and cancer. A large part of this is due to the increasing obesity rates of Americans. Rich Americans also love plastic surgery.
Infant mortality was not as high as it is now under this same health care system 20 years ago. In fact, America had the lowest infant mortality rate of all the developed countries 20 years ago. And I agree that Americans have this "it won't happen to me" outlook on life, but that is no one's fault but their own. 1) The government should not pay for universal health care. 2) When an individual has a child, that individual should be responsible enough to take care of that child under ALL circumstances. 3) It should not be America's duty to make up for poor decisions made by individuals. 4) Do away with welfare. It makes Americans more lazy. Socialism makes Americans more lazy (i.e. welfare). 5) Doctors earn the right to make what they make by not having as long of a life expectancy as they would if they weren't a doctor. They earn the right by trading their lives through their dedication and pledge of serving others. |
