WHY are political leaders complicit in giving huge sums of money to Big Pharma by failing to negotiate healthcare costs? We need to unmask the greed cycle between K Street, Big Pharma, Billionaires, Wall Street & Congress & the Senate & WH. Time to break the cycle 4 #CommonGood

I still cannot believe that the US is the only developed country that doesn’t provide universal healthcare to all its residents.

Why is it shocking? I’ve been a nurse for 43 years. We know what’s going on. No one asks us for any input. Money talks & rules healthcare! I’m for single payer system. Do you see other civilized countries looking to get out of single payer? No

@afrakt@aaronecarroll You mention all-payer and single-payer. What about eliminating the principal-agent problems associated with employers purchasing insurance on behalf of employees and insurers being compelled to function like subscription medicine?https://www.quora.com/What-should-be-the-next-step-in-American-healthcare/answer/Ian-McCullough?share=bf56cae3&srid=iwL …Thanks.

I saw a walk in doctor (equivalent of a non-emergency urgent care visit) in Mexico and got a lab test for under $5. In the US that visit would have cost me $125+ w/o insurance.

Price controls have a long proven history of economic distortion leading to poor resource allocation and ultimately scarcity. There is a better way.

Government funds nearly 2/3 of healthcare costs. Accountability & punishment for abusers is needed. Audit, prosecute, fine & prison for all fraud committed in federal medical programs. Start with hospitals, doctors, & Medical suppliers. http://www.pnhp.org/news/2016/january/government-funds-nearly-two-thirds-of-us-health-care-costs-american-journal-of-pub …

According to Center for Disease Control, 75 million adults have high blood pressure in the U.S., which costs US$ 46 Bn each year on healthcare systems, which is reason enough for governments to take initiatives to curb the menace.

Doctors started the insurance industry to collect monies to pay the fee for services ,they have become the fatted calves and they should come up with new plans to pay. They are the ones who have grown richest.

Time for people to take responsibility for their own health instead of screaming at the government and big Pharma to fix it for them. Stop whining, people, and take it in your own hands.

You mean disease management. Look at what people are shoving in their faces, no wonder everybody is so sick. That is not food, but trash. Our bodies can compensate only for so long. If we did the same to our cars, they would break down pretty fast, that’s why we don’t
