Rath said: The problems I see with healthcare in America from an observers point of view (costwise that is). 1) You pay people way too much. (like doctors) 2) Big pharma seems to have you guys by the throat more than in other places 3) Lawsuits. Is that an accurate set of reasons for why your healthcare costs are obscenely high? |
I agree with #3, partly #2, and not so much #1.
I think the, by far, biggest issue is we just don't live healthy lifestyles.
I don't mind what Pharma charges for drugs, but laws need to change on how long they can have a patent on that drug. If someone invents a cure for something that without them spending the money would not exist, desirves to get paid for it. After a few years however, cheaper versions need to be produced.
