Do you have an alternative proposal for how these people access health care services?
https://data.oecd.org/healthres/health-spending.htm https://data.oecd.org/healthres/health-spending.htm implies that the US is spending considerably more (~ double the OECD average) per capita. ER visits could certainly explain some of that.

- knz 9y agoRespectfully, I feel this link is missing the broader picture - that the US has a health care system unlike any other OECD nation. Perhaps the crux is looking at models that have been successful in other countries and adapting them to the US?
- alexanderstears 9y agoAmerica should lead the world in healthcare and many of those proposals would help us accomplish as much. We're mired in this current system with no rationing, low accountability, and rentiers sucking cash with the Government's approval and leftist protection against any reduction to the cashflow. Look at the yelps ushered by leftists when Trump stopped giving insurers free money - many of them bemoaned the loss of corporate welfare.
