"With only four per year, Americans also had fewer physician visits than the OECD median (6.5 visits). In contrast, the average Canadian had 7.7 physician visits and the average Japanese resident had 12.9 visits in 2012."

Date: November 18th, 2017 9:28 AM Author: Geriatric Garrison Internal Respiration USA spends around 3 trillion on healthcare per year. If you reduce per capital spending to Switzerland level you reduce that amount by 1.5 trillion. That is money being taken from the economy and a lowering of GDP of almost 10 percent.
Healthcare, like education, is a make work industry. That it costs so much is not a reflection on how expensive it is, rather that we are much poorer than we realize. |

Date: November 18th, 2017 11:12 AM Author: Geriatric Garrison Internal Respiration Cutting back healthcare spending by 50% would endanger millions of administrative, nursing and other middle class jobs, removing one of the last areas of growth in the USA.
It would also very likely bankrupt a large percentage of companies currently in operation. That might be the cr thing to do but it would create a financial panic and stock market crash on the same level of 2008. The powers that be chose not to let the system be destroyed 10 years ago and everything they've done since is to keep that system afloat by issuing as much debt as it takes. Healthcare spending will never go down in our lifetimes without a crash that would be absolutely devastating. |
