I also don't know why you think private corporations are excluded from having budgets. I assure you that Aetna and Kaiser and all the other insurers have budgets for the medical care that they pay for. They cannot print money to pay the bills. All they can do is raise rates or provide less coverage. On the other hand, the government can print money if they need to.
- ThomPete 10y agoNo I am not using them incorrectly you are simply just not taking this discussion in it's proper context. We are talking about a healthcare system like the US version and comparing it to the Danish version. The funding of those two systems are very different. The US healthcare system is run as a business with profits. There is no such thing as profits in a public healthcare system like the danish and so everything is a cost. In the US system thats not the case. I frankly don't know why this is such a controversial discussion.
