This video is around 7 minutes but really worth watching....yep, it all makes sense as to why health care costs are so expensive in the US. It's the inability to negotiate the best deal because there are so many providers and special interests. But what is really surprising is that the US government actually spends more on the health care they do provide (Medicare for seniors, Medicaid for poor people, and unpaid bills from people who don't have insurance and all the costs trying to get the money from them) is actually more than pretty much all countries that provide health care to all their citizens.
A real mess but too many people making too much money and too much fear mongering about socialized medicine so I doubt there will be any real change...but then I didn't think the Berlin Wall would fall so who knows?
