It is true that medical costs are way too high. Highest in the World. But we are a capitalist society and medical costs are decided by those willing to pay for them. I like the tax credits on buying insurance because it lowers everyones taxes which should be a goal for conservatives to embrace. It used to be that way but conservatives have gone towards liberalism moreso in the past years.
I work for a Japanese-owned company with Japanese nationals in stateside management. They actually return to Japan for any sort of major medical procedure because it’s cheaper even with the airfare, not to mention better care. Or, at least that’s what they say and I believe them. Pitiful.
