Except nowhere are the incentives as screwed up as in the US. Sure a doctor does have a financial incentive to not always do what is best for you anywhere in the world. But in most places this concern competes strongly with a sense of moral duty. In the US you have companies which have no scrupulous because they don't see or know the patients they screw over, actively push and incentives doctors to work against the interests of their patients. The prevalence of companies paying doctors to prescribe certain pills or suggest certain procedures seem to me more of an American problem. At least in my home country I highly doubt such an arrangment would even be legal. I mean this just fits in with the opioid crisis in the US. Where medical companies would basically send young prostitutes to doctors to try to persuade them to push their drugs. Yes this is a fact. These companies hired young pretty women, which frequently slept with the doctors they were supposed to influence. The companies made billions while patients died left and right from their drugs. I cannot think of anywhere in the developed world where anything remotely as horrible has been going on in the health care sector. While everybody has challenges in their health care sector, everything pales compared to what is going on in the US. Greed as completely taken over.
