...but only if you start from the bottom. It's time we eliminated the insurance companies that add cost without any pretense of adding benefits and get rid of the Wall Street Mentality that drives Medical LLCs who order all the tests they can find to keep their profits up. It's time to go to a complete expansion of Medicare to cover everyone in the country. Single payer. UHC. Whatever you want to call it. If every other developed country can figure it out, surely we are smart enough to ask them what they are doing and do it as well.

Aren't we...?

Opinion only here, but studying what works best of all those other systems and what facets of healthcare delivery they excel at providing would be my suggestion as a place to begin an overhaul.

No logical reason exists why the U.S. could not provide a system of affordable and universal healthcare for all that would be the envy of everyone.

This may be the root of the problem.

I plan on making bank from the system. After that, I don't care what happens.


Idiots that eat themselves into disability or smoke themselves into COPD.. have little sympathy.
