We're supposed to be a developed country.
- Rinzler89 3y agoHospitals are also businesses too in Europe. It's the regulations around the system that make the difference.
- forgetfreeman 3y agoWe were. Then a few decades of legislative capture, private equity, and neoliberal gibberish about "service economies" drained all of the opportunity out of rural and semi-rural America, consolidating what was left in major metro areas.
- shiroiushi 3y agoHospitals are businesses in developed countries too. Here in Japan, the hospitals and clinics are all private businesses, but the prices are very low, ambulance rides are free, etc. The keys, as far as I can tell, are 1) no consolidation/monopolization and 2) lots of regulation.
