Seems the lobbyists did a great work in the USA !!!!
The US have the most expensive health system in the world and if you ad
people without an insurance or a basic insurance its verry expensive.
I am in germany and we have a " welfare insurance " its not perfect and many complain. We have also a private sector for additional treatment and for higher incomes. If you earn above 80 000 you can choose your insurance all others have the basic state healthcare.
The basic state health care pay nearly any basic treatment including cancer, hospital, MRT , CT .... But you have to pay a verry low additional number to reduce the costs.
At sample if you visit the doctor 5$ , 5$ for medicals, here and there 20-30$ / dentist .
Additional privat insurances cover special treatment, at sample basic teeth
are free...better material or better looking is private.
The most funny anyone is insured and noone is scared but we pay 50% less / citizen than the US. So far i read US 6000/ citizen / year, Germany 3000/ citizen / year. And of course someone still paid for the healthcare.
If you google for Stats you see that you could easy insure anyone for the same money that you spend now, but you have to regulate the system and of course some pay. At sample a Hospital Doctor in germany earn way less than a Hospital Doctor in the USA.
Usual its a scandal that you have the most expensive system without free treatment for anyone.... and for myself i had a heart operation with 19, good that i am not born in the USA
