[quote=Djshakes]….I know you guys hate the capitalist system but we do actually care about our patients despite what you may think.[/quote]
Compared to other developed countries, we spend twice as much for average results. Our life expectancies are about average amongst this economic peer group, yet our health spending is double theirs. Something is seriously broken with our medical system. Our medical costs are way out of control, and way out of line for the results.
Fixing this, if we have the political will, cannot be done without massive cuts to the earnings of people in the medical industry. Only if we confront this will we get the burden of our excessive medical costs behind us.
Oh, and we never will. Have you ever tried cutting the compensation of a large group of people by 50%? Ain’t ever gonna happen. We’re stuck with massive health care costs forever.
