Biggest problem I have with anecdotal evidence about how good the american healthcare system is the complete and utter disregard for the quality of life and healthcare of what is the vast majority of the American population.
"Well, my wife has a good plan, so the 100 million americans who aren't insured or under insured can go feck themselves."
What kind of backward social policy is that? It's so myopic.
I posted a link earlier in this thread, but the easiest way to cut healthcare costs is by offering preventative/pre-emptive healthcare to those that consume the most resources: the uninsured.
Pay less initially or pay much much more after the fact. Those are the options.
Choosing to pay more because of moral indifference towards paying less is utterly ridiculous financial policy.
