Why American pays the highest cost per person for healthcare?

If you wonder why America pays the highest cost per person for uneven healthcare coverage and care,take a look at this chart of the administrative system that has mushroomed into an incredibly costly bureaucratic monster that provides zero care.

Add layer after layer after layer of new complex regulations to the practice of medicine, and soon enough you need millions of paper-pushing employees to monitor compliance, enforce compliance, pursue administrative and criminal charges of non-compliance, file claims and counter-claims, defend the innocent from false accusations, write hundreds of pages of new regulations, and so on.

Yes, there is a place for common-sense regulations, and procedures to vet caregivers and track standards of care, etc.

But the system is now so onerous and out of control that the practice of medicine now requires far more attorneys and compliance-regulatory-paper-pushers than it does doctors and nurses.

• 可怕。美國醫療不但價格超高，質量和availability卻不能算好。美國人的平均壽命和產婦嬰兒死亡率在發達國家裏都不算好。 -viewfinder- ♀ (155 bytes) () 02/22/2017 postreply 07:54:07

• 高端的好。普及的不賺錢就比較差。美國培養一個醫生的成本就是其他國家的幾倍。 -Gbdjw- ♀ (89 bytes) () 02/22/2017 postreply 08:15:07

• paperwork太多。醫院的賬單還盡出錯。其他任何公司如果管理這麽混亂，早就破產了。 -viewfinder- ♀ (0 bytes) () 02/22/2017 postreply 08:48:45

• 對，成本太高！加拿大培養出來的牙醫的成本是印度等國家的6倍。有些人在加拿大長大，但回印度等國拿牙醫文憑 -lawattaction- ♀ (125 bytes) () 02/22/2017 postreply 08:59:29
