The goal of the healthcare industry in the United States is to take as much money away from you as possible. I truly wish that I was exaggerating, but I am not. Can you guess which nation spends the highest percentage of GDP on healthcare? Without looking it up, you probably already know that it is us. Gigantic pharmaceutical corporations and massively bloated health insurance companies are raking in colossal mountains of cash, and yet the quality of the healthcare that we receive in return is rather quite poor. People living in Albania, Panama and Kuwait have higher life expectancy rates than we do. Residents of Belarus, Cuba and Latvia have lower infant mortality rates than we do. We are the most medicated population on the planet and yet we are also one of the sickest. If the U.S. healthcare system was a country, it would have the 6th largest economy on the entire globe and yet rates of cancer, heart disease and diabetes continue to soar.
The numbers that I am about to share with you are absolutely stunning. For as much money as we spend on healthcare, we should have the greatest system in the world by a wide margin.
But we don’t.
We have lost our way, and I don’t know if we will ever be able to find our way back.

I was NOT talking about injuries.
Did you read my post?
Did I include EVERYTHING including real injuries in my comments?
No, I did not!!!
Injuries are indeed “health issues”. If it’s just poor health, well maybe that’s because the food, air, water and healthcare are poisoned
I’m shocked as well. In addition to supporting murder, does she support abortion too?
Adding promangione as a keyword in case I ever want to prove to other FReepers there actually is someone like her here at FR.
Medicare patients and Medicaid patients do NOT pay the real price and that is why so many young people are saddled with exorbitant premiums despite rarely using services.
I don’t “support” Mangione... I just am not surprised at what happened, I’m not outraged, and I can understand what drove him to do it.
I’ll add; I wasn’t mad at Bernhard Goetz back in 1984 either.
