Oh really? Because Canada spends like 1/2 as much money per citizen as does the US on healthcare. |
its hard to compare. the rest of the world is living off the advancements made in the US medical field. if we change how we do things, the world will suffer as breakthroughs will come less often, and technology won't be subsidized by the US(not US government but US medical companies) any more . So yes, the US could adopt a style like the rest of the world, and choose not to invest in medical technology and medications, but all that would happen is everyone would be loosing out in medical advancements.
Its basically saying if I cant have it, I dont want others too, even if it helps advance peoples health. Its just not feasible to give everyone life saving extremly costly procedures, so if everyone cant have them, they go away, and with them the advancements that may have filtered down to help others.
