Greedy America and Healthcare [View all]
Healthcare in America is based on greed. This means some people in the healthcare field are getting rich while tens of millions of Americans are thrown into poverty and bankruptcy due to their excessive healthcare costs.
In America, over 35,000 people die each year because they can't afford health insurance.
In America, the average family spends $10,000 per year on health insurance premiums with another $8,000 per year in deductibles.
Most plans now also require co-insurance payments, which require that, even once you meet your deductible, you continue paying some percentage (usually 20%) of all costs.
In America, many people who HAVE health insurance still go bankrupt and slide into poverty due to the greed-based pricing of health services.
The fortunate few who are getting rich off of other people's misery are laughing all the way to the bank. Doctors and corporations have one primary goal: make as much money as possible.
This situation will continue so long as Americans continue to allow the greedy, selfish people to control our healthcare system.
America is the ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD where healthcare is driven by profits and greed instead of focusing on health and taking care of people.
We need only look to other countries for examples of what we can do to fix our broken healthcare system that is bankrupting millions of people and eventually our entire country.
