But is this the health care system we would be getting with the current proposal? I see a lot of these types of posts, health care is great in [somecountry] and it's a [otherthanus] system.
I think most people are concerned b/c the US Congress is corrupt (either to a major or minor extent). So special interest groups (AMA, insurance co's) have a greater chance of getting a bill that looks after their interests.
In the end, doesn't it come down to paying doctors (and their practices that own the testing equipment) less?
- ulf 17y agoThis depends how far you change the system. US has a much higher per-person spending on healthcare than does Germany, so it has to be questioned how that money is currently distributed...
- pragmatic 17y agoOh and I've gone to the emergency room and not waited also. However, the bill was much higher. But, the bill is reduced by agreements with the insurance company and if you've met your deductible, you might not pay anything at all. Better or worse? One visit to the ER does not make a compelling story one way or another.
