Let's call it health industrial complex.
If you have a white collar job at any one of health care companies in the u.s. (medical health insurance, hospital, pharma, device makers, pharmacy benefits, retail pharmacies, doctors office) you know why healthcare is really expensive in the U.S.
There are lots and lots of white collar jobs that are extremely handsomely paid. So many duplication of functions across competing private companies. No good standardization. Surgeons that make well into 7 figures. Thousands of executives making tens of millions of dollars in total comps. Thousands of highly paid IT professionals just at one large healthcare companies. Pharmacists raking in $130-150k. Lawyers and malpractice suits. All #1 in the world.
Somebody has to pay for all these rackets.(of which I'm also part of)
