Usurious Health Care In The USA — It flows around us like it’s water and we’re the fish but we’re not fish and when reality hits, it dawns on us that we’re drowning.
Things are getting worse for a lot of reasons and this includes health care.
A friend sent us this November 2020 study by National Nurses United that shows that US hospitals were then charging patients $417 on average for every $100 of the cost of treatment.
This is double what it was in 1999.
And many were charging a lot more including King of Prussia-based Universal Health Services at $892 per $100 and Temple University Health System at $1,042 per $100.
The shark with the biggest teeth was Capital Health at $1,443.9 per $100.
Doctors and nurses aren’t getting the loot but, rather, the corporations consolidating hospitals, pharma, and insurance companies whose profits strangely increase with rises in health care costs.
Wasn’t ObamaCare supposed to solve this?
LOL
Hospital income went from $34.37 billion in 2009 to $52.9 billion in 2010 when the Affordable Care Act was enacted.
Communism is evil, and socialism is pathetic and stupid. Capitalism, though, is not an idol to which one gives blood sacrifice. Too many Americans seem to think we should, though.
Rich people are great when their wealth comes from creating products and services that ease things for all.
When the wealth comes from scams, lies and destruction of competition, well, not so much.
Our health care has been taken over by the latter, as has much of our government. There is a reason why America’s richest counties are in the suburbs of D.C.
The government pigs have rigged things for the health care pigs — along with many other pigs — so the great trough is overflowing.
How to fix things?
Start with the principle that greed is bad and freedom is good. Make the equation balance and things will get pretty nice.
