I think you're smoking somthing, ace. If you don't understand you're paying for the difference between $28 to get your wisdom teeth pulled, and the actual cost, you need to take a crash course in economics. There's a word for that difference. It's called taxes. But i forgot--you leftwing socialists don't pay any. Sorry.

I love how everyone complains about "democrats" wanting to suck money from the government. Go look at taxes by state. Almost every state that votes democrat, pays MORE taxes than services they receive from the federal government. Almost every republican state (except Texas) TAKES more funding then taxes they pay.

Anyway this is not a debate about state healthcare, it's simply that the system is NOT a free market, it's a closed system that is designed to rip people off.

At around six minutes. AND MY RECORDS WOULDN'T BE LOST BECAUSE OF A SERVER ERROR IN ANOTHER STATE!!!!!

That's the way health care works in the US? Really?

You guys have no idea how bad you have it.

Tens of thousands of government regulations have brought us to this precipice of unworkability. It would have been great to have a Constitution that strictly separated government and health care.

i wonder how many americans know that many other countries has universal healthcare, and yet we pay wayyy more than any other country in the world.

@grscubadiver I find it interesting how the go to line for the ignorant is "send...to...and see how they like it there" It is a shallow and meaningless statement devoid of sense. The video is simply a testament to the fractured healthcare system in the U.S. As alignment occurs and fragmentation dissolves we will find a much more efficient and less costly system. As for those who don't want a government run system, we already have one fed & state pay more than 60% of healthcare costs

This was more depressing than funny

@6582bucc There are US funded studies which show why a Japanese MRI is indeed 10x cheaper than a US one: the Japanese government has regulated the price (imposed a maximum), which in turn made doctors prescribe the procedure a lot more (it's cheap and non-invasive), which eventually made money for the providers (they make money on the huge volume). It has nothing to do with taxes, just better organization. Besides, do we not pay taxes in the US? It's just that we get little service for them.
