@ChadleyDudebro @EdBoatConnoisseur @sickburnbro Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up. In the US:

>emphasis on aggressive interventions (surgical and pharmacological) over preventative measures

>Patchwork system of medical insurance where the commercially insured are ridiculously overcharged in order to make up for the losses eaten on Medicaid/Medicare patients. This rapes uninsured Whites (who can get stuck with 6-figure hospital bills)

>Explosion of hospital administrators (see chart) who are not revenue producers and actually are negative useless but need to justify their undeserved salaries

>EMTALA (thanks Ronnie Raygun), an 'unfunded mandate' that states hospital ERs cannot refuse any patient regardless of ability to pay or even citizenship status
