No idea why your comment has been downvoted. The individual US states do indeed have little independence in the crafting of their healthcare system, given the heavy involvement of the federal government in healthcare. And the federal government is a massively complex beast that is subject to intense special interest lobbying and is far less accountable to its constituents than Singapore's government. There's no comparison between a fractured government presiding over 300 million people and a single party government of 6 million.
- cies 9y ago> intense special interest lobbying When can we stop to being so euphemistic and just call it corruption? I do not have to wear my PhD hat in economics to say that the relatively high cost care in the US pays for both the lobbyists' salaries and the now-even-higher dividends of the companies that choose to contract those lobbyists. Workers pay through the nose, rich folk get richer. Democracy subverted once again.
