Because you're told that the flawed way OP set out is the better way despite the lack of results.

- pas 9y agoCould you explain your comment please? It's not clear (at least I don't get it), what do you mean by flawed way and better way.
- tobylane 9y agoTake the first point, "The US is philosophically much more egotistic than other developed countries". If all Americans accepted that they as a whole would pay less if they pre-paid in taxes rather than post-treatment bills then the country would be better off. What's stopping them accept this is the overlap of media, politicians, rich people (and maybe more, not my area of expertise) telling you that isn't true. The better way is to ignore them, to let money speak not money holders. That can be expanded on with another point, the American dream. If the millionaires tell an American dreamer that something isn't a good idea the dreamer will consider it a roadblock to their own riches.

The better way is to ignore them, to let money speak not money holders. Or perhaps this is just not true. See adventured's comment. And also, why should all Americans prepay in taxes to subsidize 10s of thousands of dollars for one 20 min anesthesia session? Why should they continue encourage these insane health care costs by pre paying for them? How is the country better off this way?
