Who's going to set up a shop providing medicine if they aren't making profit from it, you?

I am from Germany (here 30 yrs) & health costs & prescriptions are taken care of by the Government. Pharmaceutical entities are not privately owned, no jacked up prices. You can be healthy, without having to be rich. Hospital stays are not outrageous, because every bill is paid.

It is (or at least can be) free at the point of service, which allows everyone to seek the treatment they need and let's the price of those treatments be fairly distributed. That's the whole premise of insurance, but without prioritizing the profit motive to deny care.

Insurance companies are the devil, correct.

Hospitals in America are so expensive because when you do pay, you have to pay for all the people that aren't paying their bill and that's what they jack up the prices so much. To cover their costs.

Plus doctors don't have to pay 100ks for malpractice insurance. Cuz Germans not sue happy like some people in America are! They can't! And then the doctors have to pay millions of $$ for lawsuits, instead of just fixing the problem or referring the patient to a specialist.

Pharmaceutical companies are not privately owned so they can make the drugs at a decent cost with R&D and manufacturing and ingredients included. Not like those greedy Pharmaceutical companies here in America that jack up your price. To put more money in their own pockets.

When was the last time a German got a Nobel Prize in Medicine? Been awhile, I think, but Americans get them all the time because America is doing all of the innovating, footing the bills, and the rest of the world benefits.
