- waterheater 6y agoIf there's any common political rallying point in the USA, it's how expensive healthcare is! Relief does exist. I know two close people who each had around $70k of medical debt wiped clean by hospitals. But yes, healthcare costs need to drop. See this graph for a symptom of why healthcare is so expensive: http://www.ibj.com/ext/resources/blog/The-Dose/Physicians-Administrators.png http://www.ibj.com/ext/resources/blog/The-Dose/Physicians-Ad...
