A Primer on US Healthcare
- deleted 1y ago[deleted]
- readthenotes1 1y ago1. By calling it US healthcare, the author is missing the point. There is very little healthcare, but there is a lot of medical expense. 2. By not throwing in a sentence or two about how the ACA provided a perverse incentive for insurance companies to raise the cost of medical care so as to allow an increase in marketing and executive compensation, the author is ignoring one of the many pernicious effects government regulation has caused in the industry.
- jackthetab 1y ago> one of the many pernicious effects government regulation has caused in the industry. Honest question. DAE interpret this as (implying) all government regulation (in this industry) has pernicious effects?
- cyberge99 1y agoYep. Reads like a diatribe that was avoided.
- loco5niner 1y agoYep, I'm disgusted too. But with little kids with possibly serious medical issues, we've gotten great care.
- prats226 1y agoI think author has taken a very long term view of what's happened so far without getting too politically specific. I found it very informative to get a sense of how many abstractions are there in the system. So I atleast know where to deep dive on.
