Why American pays the highest cost per person for healthcare?

If you wonder why America pays the highest cost per person for uneven healthcare coverage and care,take a look at this chart of the administrative system that has mushroomed into an incredibly costly bureaucratic monster that provides zero care.

Add layer after layer after layer of new complex regulations to the practice of medicine, and soon enough you need millions of paper-pushing employees to monitor compliance, enforce compliance, pursue administrative and criminal charges of non-compliance, file claims and counter-claims, defend the innocent from false accusations, write hundreds of pages of new regulations, and so on.

Yes, there is a place for common-sense regulations, and procedures to vet caregivers and track standards of care, etc.

But the system is now so onerous and out of control that the practice of medicine now requires far more attorneys and compliance-regulatory-paper-pushers than it does doctors and nurses.

• 可怕。美国医疗不但价格超高，质量和availability却不能算好。美国人的平均寿命和产妇婴儿死亡率在发达国家里都不算好。 -viewfinder- ♀ (155 bytes) () 02/22/2017 postreply 07:54:07

• 对，成本太高！加拿大培养出来的牙医的成本是印度等国家的6倍。有些人在加拿大长大，但回印度等国拿牙医文凭 -lawattaction- ♀ (125 bytes) () 02/22/2017 postreply 08:59:29
