Here in Taiwan I have had excellent care for a number of medical situations.
I've asked physicians, most of whom have studied in America, why the one tenth price of U.S. care?
They say it is mostly due to the legal and insurance costs.

They might add, Americans have taken too much time to fight for rectifying this gross embarrassment on such a great country.

The care is no better and you pay through the teeth.

Your post provides the kind of information I'm looking for.

Are the high costs here in the states due principally to our legal system? What about the costs of medical equipment, doctors, nurses, physical plant, etc.?

California limited legal costs but medical costs haven't gone down. And in Taiwan there still must be medical malpractice awards. If not, how is malpractice handled?
