US Healthcare Is A Rat's Nest of Greedy Sleazy Bastards

The numbers in the graphs below for US health care have close to doubled since 2007.

Here is a statistic that compares costs:

Here is a statistic that shows who gets a cut of those costs:

It's just not providers, let's look at drug prices:

And does all this ridiculous amount of money get you anything extra? See for yourself:

Here is a U.S. Citizen’s personal account of his experience with a very tough accident in Canada : Robin Dymond's answer to Why do so many liberals still seem to think Obamacare is a success?

The U.S. has NO SUPPORT for the sick or disabled!

That is unlike any other developed country in the world.

The U.S. Healthcare is setup to extort the employed via "cost shifting" because the sick or disabled cannot afford the exorbitant costs.

Afterall the wages of the employed can be garnished and they have a salary that can pay bills, however ridiculous it might be!

The U.S. has no concept of "sick days". A few states had to do a lot of thinking before mandating 3 sick days a year.

If you are seeking disability, you have to apply for it and wait for it (can take months to years for approval) and not work during the whole time.

Instead of complaining about the A.C.A, next time you are with your provider, ask:

1. how much are you charging me and my insurance company?
2. Why?

Write to your senators to remove tax breaks for employers providing health insurance and let the patients regain control over their own health by letting them pay for health insurance themselves.

I have drawn a lot of flack and threats, including from providers, for suggesting the above, but Medicare has asked these same questions and hospitals have realized significant efficiency and increased profits from introspection: Obamacare's Test Kitchen For Payment Experiments Faces An Uncertain Future

For true reform, we need a well educated public: who are not blinded by popular myths (US Healthcare is expensive because everyone sues their doctors! Why does one believe that malpractice insurance is the primary reason for US health-care being so expensive?) and really understand the reality.

The house is stacked against the public; guess which industry spend the most on lobbying?

Listen, if you, the American Citizen are not going to reform the healthcare industry, it's not going to reform itself!

Slick Rick Scott represents exactly what is wrong with healthcare in the American kleptocracy. Rick did tell the truth in part. Unregulated capitalism is part of the reason we have the most criminal and greediest health care system on the planet. No other industry is as sleazy as the US healthcare industry and there is a lot of bad actors in it. 

Slick Rick was a criminal who was the CEO of Columbia HCA. Rick helped Columbia HCA defraud Medicare and Medicaid out of BILLIONS of DOLLAR and of course Slick Rick and none of his band of crooks were even arrested. 

The very industry that should be based on morality and compassion is the most immoral and least compassionate of them all.

There is an old but true saying, "If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem." You doctor is part of the problem. Troll all doctors and make their lives hell until they work to reform their wicked industry.

What Slick Rick doesn't get is that healthcare should not be an industry and obscene profiting from the suffering of others is as evil as it gets.
