Right, but they also don’t seem to have the same cost disease issues, or at least not to the same extent.
The fact that Germany or Japan spends $x per capita on something doesn’t necessarily imply that it would be possible for the US to achieve the same result for the same price.
- pedalpete 5y agoThe US has the most expensive healthcare because of the healthcare system, not because of the diseases. Canadians get the same medications as Americans, and for the most part the same treatment. Everything is more expensive the US because the healthcare system takes advantage of the sick, before treating them.
