Because it is a profit-driven system. It has very little to do with the health of the individual and almost everything to do with how much money can be made off of the individual.

When health care choices are made based on the "profit margin" there is no room left for the Hippocratic Oath.



Fail.

It's the cost of malpractice insurance.Typical liberal, wants to spend 10 times as much to completely overhaul something, when the best first step would be to remove/lessen the parasites. Funny how our new fearless leader is a lawyer himself. Things that make you go hmmmm.



That falls under the obscenely high Administrative costs I pointed out in my first post.
Now can you tell me why Malpractice Insurance has gone through the roof?

Could it be because incompetent doctors are shuffled around and allowed to continue practicing (see link to King/Drew in my first post).

Could it be because people are allowed to get worse or die because it's just too expensive to give them the proper treatment to get them well.

Could it be because a doctor in this country only spends an average of less than 5 minutes per patient so he can get the maximum insurance payouts per day instead of actually taking the time to find out what is wrong.


Again, please point out the POSITIVE aspects of our current healthcare system, I think you'll be hard pressed to find any.
