Why do you think that every other decent country only spends 3000 to 4000 dollars per year on health care with the United States ridiculously paying OVER TWICE THAT per capita cost from -- pick your favorite country. 8120 per year was the last I recall being revealed.
The difference from 8000 minus 3000 is 5000 dollars per year wasted on armies of clerks hired by doctors and hospitals and clinics FIGHTING insurance companies' armies of clerks. Oh, yeah and insurance companies making way more than 20%.
