I'm middle of the road. Hard working and highly paid. Healthcare in the USA is broken beyond belief. I pay over 300 bi-weekly for family coverage and high deductibles beyond that. It goes higher each year. My employer pays over nearly 800 per week. I'm not using what I pay and honestly feel we're getting to a point where even a highly paid associate is going to drop out of this garbage plan and just go to the hospital or urgent care and pay out of pocket. Something needs to be done about healthcare! I'm boycotting Amazon for this.
- Merrill 7y agoHealthcare is about 18% of GDP or about a $3470 billion a year. It should be shrunk down to about 12%, but that would require terminating millions of employees who work in healthcare and are the major cost component. The industry also needs to get rid of lots of real estate. Shrinking healthcare would cause a bigger bloodbath in commercial real estate than the one currently going on in retail stores.
