Ok

The exorbitant cost of healthcare in America is a result of several complex factors. Firstly, the country's fragmented healthcare system leads to inefficiencies and administrative overheads, with multiple layers of bureaucracy and paperwork increasing expenses. Additionally, the high prices of medical services, pharmaceuticals, and equipment contribute significantly to healthcare costs, fueled by a lack of price transparency and competition. Moreover, the prevalence of costly medical procedures, defensive medicine practices, and a fee-for-service payment model further drive up expenses. Addressing these systemic issues and promoting reforms focused on efficiency, affordability, and accessibility is crucial to mitigate the burden of healthcare costs on individuals and the economy.

I would Support you on this one because I'm a doctor for 10years now Deeply understand. However, To address this issue, policymakers must prioritize reforms aimed at streamlining the healthcare system, increasing price transparency, and promoting value-based care delivery models to ensure affordability and accessibility for all Americans.

Investing can play a crucial role in helping individuals manage and keep up with healthcare expenses in the United States. By strategically allocating funds into investment vehicles such as health savings accounts (HSAs), individual retirement accounts (IRAs), and brokerage accounts, individuals can build a financial cushion to cover medical bills and unexpected healthcare costs. Moreover, investing in dividend-paying stocks, bonds, and real estate investment trusts (REITs) can generate passive income streams that can be earmarked for healthcare expenses. Additionally, investing in healthcare-focused mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) allows individuals to capitalize on the growth potential of the healthcare sector while diversifying their investment portfolio. By adopting a proactive approach to investing and diligently managing their finances, individuals can better navigate the challenges of healthcare expenses and secure their financial well-being.

not even close to reality if your work for an employer you probably have a majority of your healthcare payed an covered. When I work in the pvt sector my healthcare is about 50 USD a month with my employer covering a bulk of the cost. Along with that many should have investments that they can pull from. If you have a "life savings" or a savings account beyond 90 days of rationing support, your not using money well. I forgo a traditional savings and have a money market account, that way my money at least stays and makes more than inflation.

It's weird that that we call it health "insurance", when it's really more like a health union, who's primary purpose is collective bargaining.

I went to the ER last year and got a CT scan for a kidney stone (I went because I I thought it might’ve been appendicitis). No ambulance, no overnight stay, no removal or dissolution of the small stone. Just a few hours at the hospital and the bill to insurance was just shy of $8,500. Luckily my insurance covered all but about $250 of it.

healthcare is a human right, of course it needs to be payed for, and someone has to foot the bill, but the bill should cost as little as its feasibly possible to cost, not as high as it can cost till people say no. healthcare should not be a business it should be a service. in most countries, education is also a service, even up to higher levels of education. its literally for the benefit of all of society.

America is 100% capable of using tax payer money for free health insurance for everyone. I'm sure you can guess why that already isn't a thing.

I️ fell ill around 3 years ago in England, had heart palpitations, a fever of 104 and severe chest pain. As an American, I️ was horrified because I️ didn’t have the money to pay to go to the ER and avoided going for three days until I️ almost passed out after eating some food. I️ went to the A&E (aka the ER) and they took me in, gave me chest x rays, antibiotics and a room with air conditioning (which apparently what I️ heard from my English friends is a rarity since air conditioners aren’t very common) When alone with a nurse I️ started crying because I️ literally used up so much of their resources and wondered how much I️ would have to pay. She calmed me down and told me “this was a serious emergency, you won’t be charged don’t worry” And at that moment I️ realized the American medical system has conditioned so many people to suffer and live in pain and even perhaps DIE because of the fear of debt. I’m alive today because of the NHS, a medical system that is not mine, in a country foreign to me. I was lucky, I️ could only imagine what would have happened to me in the states.

Get it done in a private hospital Since there was a waiting list in the govt hospital we decided to go to private hospital. It was a week long stay. We got the best healthcare facilities and the whole procedure including everything costed us INR 125,000 (around $1700) and every single penny of our bill was paid by the health insurance. We had to pay literally nothing.

I grew up in America and I currently live in West Africa. Just had a tumor removed and it cost me around $500. The same procedure would have cost me at least $15,000 or more in America. Being poor in America is a death sentence.

About a year ago I was severely depressed. I walked out of my workplace to my psychologists office and sat with someone for almost 2 hours. They determined that I was a danger to myself and refused to let me leave alone. I had 2 options. 1) call someone to pick me up and take me home or 2) go to hospital. I had nobody that I could contact, so they made me go to hospital. I was taken about 20 minutes in an ambulance, sat in the waiting room for about 30 minutes, then saw a doctor, who spoke to me for a while, gave me medication for my anxiety, and then referred me to another place. I went home and it never cost me a single cent, here in Australia. Not even the psychologist or the place I was referred to costs me money. Yes, I pay a Medicare levy on my tax return, but it's small, and I still get a hefty tax refund each year regardless, so it feels like nothing. I don't earn a lot, I basically live paycheck to paycheck. I can't imagine if I lived in America, and after such an ordeal was billed a few thousand dollars that I didn't have. Probably would have actually killed myself.

Christian Soldier Dude, I don’t even know where you get this from. If I have something I can go to the doctor tomorrow first thing without even calling. They won’t like it because they have a schedule aswell, but they can’t reject me. If I have something more severe I can go to the 24hr ER service by myself and get myself checked in 30 mins. If I have something even more severe I can call an ambulance and get attended immediately. All payed for by my insurance. My fathers Job gives us insurance, if he loses that job the government will IMMEDIATELY take it over, payed for by my fellow Germans in the form of taxes. I will never have to pay by myself for necessary medical help. Is that sort of information that „oh you never get to see a doctor“ made up?? Quit it.

When my family was visiting America, my mom saw this woman that was using Food stamps. When she inquired the woman told her that she had a baby prematurely, and the medical bills were so high. She worked as a nurse and her husband worked as a firefighter. Not the most well paid jobs but none the less you would assume they would have spent a lot of time and effort preparing for their baby. How do you have medical bills that high; over a BABY?

Hate to inform you, but neither firefighters nor nurses rank in the top 10% of earners in the US; in fact, both nurses and firefighters tend to not get paid well at all. On a quick search, firefighters in the city I'm in sit around 35 to 45k a year in income, but this is a state capital and cost of living for a family of 3, without medical bills thrown in, is around 4k to 5k a month for a comfortable lifestyle. Yes, you can do cheaper. But medical bills for a pre-mature baby? Oh yeah that's gonna be brutal. Not to mention she's likely not getting paid leave to take care of her baby, so they're likely down her paycheck. America, woo.

I can vouch for that. I remember begging my manager not to call an ambulance in a delirious state after I passed out due to heat exhaustion and dehydration.

I live in the UK, and when I was a kid, my family lived from paycheck to paycheck. My mother had an excruciating pain in her stomach and was rushed to hospital. The doctors found gallstones and conducted keyhole surgery to alleviate the pain, but found a strange lump on her ovary. Turns out that she was in the early stages of ovarian cancer. The doctors brought her in to remove the lump, and conduct a full hysterectomy just to be safe. She spent months in the hospital, and months after that in physical therapy. We had NO MONEY which we could have spared to even cover the basics of this cost, and yet by the time my mother was recovered, the bill was ZERO. The NHS (our healthcare system), paid for it all. If she hadn't been seen, if they hadn't conducted the surgery, they estimate I would have lost my mother at the age of sixteen, three years after diagnosis. I'm twenty now, still in the UK, and I've been to hospital for a broken arm, I've seen the doctor for excruciating headaches, and every time I walk out of there with no debt and no worries, and to this day, myself and my family are in perfect health. No matter what anyone EVER tells you about the NHS, it saved my mother's life, and it saves the life of someone's mother, father, daughter, son, every minute of every day. I would never trade it for the world.

I live in the UK and pay health insurance through my employer. this is approximately $12 a month and will cover all the nominal fees that the NHS charges, such as prescriptions, in the UK, prescription medication costs £10 (no matter what the medication is) my insurance will cover this £10 charge... getting glasses in the UK can cost as little as nothing (depending on the glasses) but designer frames can cost a lot more (£75 an upwards) my health insurance will cover most of this cost up to a cap of around £300. Dental work in the UK costs a set amount, depending on what you are having done, (and how much you earn) but for example, having a cavity filled will cost £65, having 10 cavities filled will cost £65... my insurance covers all of this. for all NHS services exemptions are in place for those out of work, disabled, the elderly, etc. any essential and emergency treatment in the UK, up to and including being resuscitated, ambulance trips, airlifting via helicopter, broken bones, cancer treatments, insulin, radiotherapy, diagnosis, accident and emergency services, hospital stays, etc etc etc, all cost £0, national insurance payments are not even considered by most people since its manditory and is taken out of your pre tax net pay so unless you go looking for the deductions, you will hardly notice them, my NI payments last year came to around 10% of my pre tax income, and provide services such as the NHS, the fire service, education, unemployment security, rent security, etc.

Thank you for talking about this! Another issue is that a company can patent a medication or medical device, and then sell it at absurd prices because not only do they have a monopoly on it from the patent, but the patients don’t have much choice about whether to buy it. The medication/device could be the only know thing to help their suffering, or even save their life. Think about epi pens for an example. There may be a cheaper auto injector form of them but still.

My wife gave birth to my first son in 2016, then she stayed for 3 days for recovery. The cost? it was free. Why? Because here in Indonesia, most of the citizens joined a government insurance program called BPJS. It charges only around 4 USD monthly. US Health-Care system is a JOKE!!

You not wrong thro

From my understanding, health insurance in the United States is typically provided by employers. This creates a motivation for a worker to get and keep a job, since not having a job would mean death or bankruptcy should someone get seriously injured or ill. This amounts to a subtle form of coercion that doesn't exist anywhere else in the developed world and I think it is quite deliberate. A worker leaving a job in Canada is only concerned with whether or not they will have another job in time for the next rent payment, not whether a hospital will give them a $100K medical bill after falling and hitting their head. This represents a power shift away from the worker and towards the employer and a subsequent loss of negotiating power. Possibly one of the reasons why the minimum wage in the United States is one of the lowest in the developed world and lower in inflation adjusted terms than it was a few decades ago.

Health, security and education (primary and secondary) should all be universal rights that citizens of any decent nation should have free access to. It's funny that virtually no one seems to have a problem funding the police with their taxes, but it's a service that we might never use (directly) and when we do, we might be on the wrong end of it (paying fines or even going to jail). Because of that I never understood the resistance that Americans have to public health care.

When I was a kid, I was really sick and had to be in the hospital for 10 days. The bill my parents received was for over $50,000. We had insurance. It maxed out the deductible and our maximum out of pocket spend for the year. They still owed $7,500. The cost of healthcare is truly obscene.

I am an expert in the U.S. healthcare system. My entire professional career involved hospital consultancy and I personally consulted in over 20 hospitals, including some of the largest in the country. The description presented by Mr. Klein is entirely correct though the depth of the financial corruption of the relevant aspects of our political system is much worse. The other argument that is so often made by politicians is that "we have the finest health care system in the world". We most definitely do not. In fact, it is more often just mediocre when measured by results. Then we are also told that we don't want "socialized medicine" or "government medicine" (I guess that means Medicare and Medicaid) because in countries that have those systems, people in desperate need have to wait long periods of time for treatment. That is only a half truth at best. The fact is that many highly advanced modalities of therapy are only available in Europe or Asia (usually Japan). I was recently speaking with the CFO and a board member of one of the major university hospitals in the 4th or 5th largest U.S. city. There they charged "private pay" (i.e. uninsured) patients $7200 for an ultrasound study that was usually done in local physicians' offices for about $200. Sound fair to you?
