Yep. I know exactly what we spend. And I know why.
Bingo.. see above.
So? Do you think its possible..just possible.. that other countries may spend less on healthcare.. partially because they pay LOWER WAGES..than we do in the US?
Not well..so why would you want to make it worse by paying doctors, nurses, technicians, medical billing personnel, speech therapists, physical therapists etc.. less?
Bingo... so what happens if we try to lower the cost of healthcare like other countries.. and reduce the number of jobs and reduce wages.?
Do you think the economy gets BETTER with fewer jobs and lower salaries?
Tons. Many of my employees are those very same doctors. Especially in the rural areas. Many foreign trained physicians can get a visa if they are going to work in a underserved area.
Absolutely. First because it means that american trained doctors are making more.. and those Doctors of the World making more?
Where are they buying houses, oh right.. in the US..and buying american cars, and spending their money in american shops, and the money that the hospital takes in because of their work? That money goes to pay the housekeeping staff, and the x ray techs and the nurses, and the receptionist and and and..... the list goes on.
Actually no.. depending on how we get to universal healthcare.. it depends. Universal healthcare could actually mean a greater demand for doctors and more doctors coming to the US. More people with insurance.. means potentially more demand.
If we get to universal healthcare by a single payer.. with lower reimbursement? Then you would likely see MORE foreign trained doctors.. as american trained doctors retire..and fewer americans decide to go through all that expensive medical training.. to make so little. Foreign trained doctors.. will still likely make more here than at home.
First of all if you know exactly what we spend on Healthcare , then I take it you have compared it to the price that Europe spends on Health care, and please no well America's bigger crap we all know how to use %'s right?
Yeah , I do think other countries pay their doctor's less, but I see no outbreak of sickness in those countries as a matter of fact the UK , Canada , Italy "remember poor Italy at the start of the Covid pandemic" all are doing better than the U.S.. Why is that?
Perhaps the CDC, The W H O. The Health organizations, all the specialist on Pandemic medicine are all lying to the American people???
Pay our doctors more ? Well I called my doctor ask for a prescription he said I had to have an an appointment with my doctor He spent 12 minutes talking gave me the prescription I ask for over the phone. That cost me $74. would have been more but my insurance premium was paid but my prescription drug insurance would not cover the Prescription they said $40. was not enough to charge on their insurance.
So yeah , I'd say there's more than one making money by rip off ,of America's healthcare system.
As far as what would happen with fewer jobs , not the first time how many manufacturing jobs were lost how much tax revenue how many people lost homes , cars and lifestyles on that deal , They called that progress .
Tons many can get visas , Why do you think that is? How many American students graduated from a Medical profession??
Are you telling me there is a shortage of American MD'S and MEDICAL SPECIALIST IN America???? WHY???
First where are these American trained Doctors making more?
I'd like to take a closer look at that "and the list goes on,cause the last time I had a X ray they charged me for the tech that took it and the tech that read it.
I noticed you kinda put a damper on Universal Healthcare, but last I check when the polls ran , in some a majority of Americans were for it in others it was a very tight poll.
I don't care what politician is in office or what political party is in office . You can sweep it under the rug for now , but sooner or later the United States will have to deal with Universal Healthcare one way or another.
Basically America is a dinosaur , look how many other countries have switched to universal Healthcare, UK, Iceland, Belgium, Holland, Canada , Cuba. CUBA???
Are these countries Socialist countries? That's the big excuse " Universal Healthcare leads to Socialism ," Socialist medicine". That's BS everybody knows that's BS.
Leave Healthcare the way it is it will lead to Fascism, don't believe me look around.
When Hitler came to power the first thing he did was to say the News papers were lying. everybody that agreed with Hitler stayed in the Nazi party those that didn't were killed or dismissed,
In the end he led Germany to a path of destruction . Attacking with armies he no longer had , with weapons that weren't even there .
Sound familiar?
