Americans spend inordinate amounts of money on things thet call “medical care” which European socialists simply will not do. First there is the huge expense of “defensive medicine” where doctors and hospitals perform tests, procedures and expensive futile therapies to shield themselves from lawsuits. Then there is state of the art expensive medicines and diagnostic testing with prolonged hospitalizations for the dying elderly many with terminal illnesses. Families have come to expect, often unreasonably demand and receive such care. There is an entire liability litigation industry which lawyers, doctors, chiropractors ,physical therapists etc. milk injuries for all they are worth with generally useless diagnostic testing and therapies. Innovation and cost savings are stifled by endless regulations and rules. Just a few of the reasons American medical care is expensive. The Socialists don’t really care for the individual but treat the collective.

“The Socialists don’t really care for the individual but treat the collective.” Yeah, we saw them treat the collective in the 20th century. Was close to 100 million of them........
