I belong to the top 1% and think pure capitalism has proven to lead to broad based destruction. I want to have greedy people capped. Greedy corporations limited. There should be limits to how much utilities can charge. Utilities should all be in public possession not in private hands. That should include hospitals. The insurance industry should be strictly regulated. Doctors should be paid a fixed and equal amount for each service performed, as defined by a regulator. Doctors who earn insanely more than others should be investigated and if they earn more because they service more patients then no issue, if they earn more because they perform unnecessary procedures they should get a warning and if that continues they have their licenses revoked. If a doctor wants to earn more then he has the free choice to emigrate to Qatar or Rhiad. How I described it is EXACTLY AND PRECISELY the system in Germany and it has proven to be the best and most affordable health care system in the world. The second best does not even come remotely close.

You didn't answer the question. How much should it cost to get a broken arm fixed?
 
Trust me I enjoy life in Japan and Germany to the fullest, two socal market economies that strongly regulate businesses and public utilities and all services that are dear to citizens. The system works pretty well. Not perfect as no system is perfect but I would never want to switch with you. Not even if you gave me a visa for free. To each his own. I just think if we walk around and still stick to stupid brainwash like "my country is the greatest country in the world since sliced bread" we greatly miss out in our arrogance to learn from others, because there are always some things we do better than others but also some things others do better than us. It's sheer arrogance of people thinking their democracy is the best in the world, their definition of happiness is the best in the world. If that was the case your people would not in majority run around as obese fuxxs nor tear each other apart just because you have different political convictions. If you reflected on that and could say that you can also learn from Mexicans and Canadians then you would have made a great leap forward.

haha. You are wasting your precious life living in any western developed country. It would be wise for you to move to China, North Korea, Cuba or Venezuela.

I don't think I can attach a specific price to it but it should be a reasonable amount that leaves a solid living to the medical doctor, a solid profit to the hospital, a solid profit to the insurance company. Not insanely inflated prices just because the hospital or medical doctor can charge for it. The price for such procedure at Mt Sinai should not be much different from a hospital in Columbus, OH, slightly adjusted for different cost of living. That price would then be affordable in terms of insurance premiums paid into a national pot by everyone and used for such procedures. Why does it work in Germany or Japan but not in the US? Because a regulator sets the price a hospital or doctor can charge for it. Without such regulation what holds back hospitals or doctors charging 10 times fair value? Nothing.

For someone that doesn't live in this country, you do you a healthy amount of interest in what goes on here.

what is a solid living and who decides? Who/what ensures that there will always be an adequate supply of doctors? How much should a truck driver that delivers medical supplies to the hospital be paid? You still can't answer the question, How much should it cost to fix a broken arm? Is that what you write on your estimates, Reasonable. ???
 
Who decides? Ha, definitely not a free market when 350 million peoples' lives depend on it.
