    A crucial reason for high U.S. health costs is surprisingly simple. But fixing the problem is more complicated.http://nyti.ms/2DTlVBw

        The CEO of United Health makes 76K PER DAY. I wonder if that contributes to the problem?

        The high prices in the US are due to lack of government regulation. Most other countries (Canada, Austria, UK) have a government reimbursement body that evaluates medicines and negotiates prices. We do not have such body, thus out of control prices.

        There’s another public administration point of action, one less intrusive: medical and nurse public schools. Availability of education opportunities means more doctors for the market, and a social ladder for those who commit to these careers.

        If @realDonaldTrump and his @GOP & Wall Street cronies actually wanted to fix health care in the U.S. they'd do something about the cost. Don't want to. Too profitable. Being a teacher is supposed to be all about serving, yet, being in med field is about $$$.

        Your only flaw in your argument is that the gop and some dems wants to privatize education to turn teaching all about the money but I do get your point. There should never be a price for health or education

        There isn't a flaw. Neither health care nor education shouldn't be about money. A Dr shouldn't be a Dr or a teacher shouldn't be a teacher because they can get rich. And that has stayed true for teachers. How many people want to be a teacher to make millions? None. Medical, many.

        Fair enough. I didn't see it that way as the flaw you said I had was that people want to privatize education, and I'm not talking about that people want to make money off of it.

        Privatization of the education system in America is the end of democracy. It will kill teacher unions give great education to the people who can afford it special education kids and poor kids will suffer the most

        "If attempted nationally, or even in a state, either of these would be met with resistance from all those who directly benefit from high prices, including physicians, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies — and pretty much every other provider of health care in the United States."

        Free market health care is the problem. It causes higher, unjustified prices. See the Epipen. Most of the rest of the civilized world controls prices via single payer.

        1) people don't have to ask "How much?" 2) People like @RepTomMarino get big payouts from drug cos to legislate in their favor. 3) Gov't has taken the place of insurance cos and pay as long as the MDs prescribe. 4) ppl visit drs for flu, colds, headaches, etc.

        Good article but for the conclusion that innovation may justify a 60% higher cost of care in the US. Innovation is important, but its not occurring at the point of direct care. Rather than tolerate a flawed and overpriced system, control prices and invest in grants to innovators.

        Most innovation comes from the taxpayer funded NIH. Drug companies buy the patents & monopolize the market, they are not the innovators.

        Exactly. Universities and small research companies are the innovators. Yet we have a tax plan that hurts small business and an administration hell bent on killing scientific inquiry.
