Countries with public health care have problems with health care as well. It is not a silver bullet. The incentives are different but it is still an incentive driven system.
- spaetzleesser 5y agoVery true. But it seems these countries try to keep the system accessible and affordable for patients. The US system seems designed to keep profits for providers, instances and employers while the patient has to pay without having having any market power. From a cost and transparency perspective I think it would be hard to design a worse system than the US system.
