Health-care spending is consistently rising around the world, but the United States is the worst performer when it comes to controlling costs. A lack of universal coverage in the U.S. and a fragmented and heavily commercialized system leads to rising costs and excessive spending. Watch the video to learn more about why health-care costs are rising in the U.S. more than anywhere else and how that can be stopped.

Why U.S. Health Care Is Getting More Expensive
source
What we need is a public healthcare system paid for entirely by Medicare with price controls for some services. This would automatically make healthcare affordable for everyone. Unfortunately this probably won’t happen anytime soon because that would torpedo the corrupt for profit heathcare system in America. 🤦♂️
Taxpayers paid 944 billion dollars last year for Medicare, which is more then the gdp and total healthcare costs of pretty much every other developed nation which is insane.
Why?! is health care costs outta control in the u.s? three good convincing reasons 1. GREED! 2. Politicians 3. and A broken universal health care system because of politicians. NOW! you can save time listening to this article. YOU'RE! WELCOME!!!!!
I’m sympathetic towards Americans, but for me the most terrifying part about the American healthcare system is its industry’s tentacle. They will not be stopped by petty things like border or elections, the world should hold its breath and observe closely the fate of the NHS. If American corporate can choke the NHS, your country’s healthcare system might be next. Prepare to pay American bills and have your insurance claim rejected.
Thanks for sharing.
Who gets raises who work in health care? Not the workers !
Take away insurance companies and their enormous profits
Why? Whenever you mandate a service that’s provided by private companies, they then now have leverage to increase the prices, that’s why it is so expensive. Also, the people who are paying for high price insurance are subsidizing the people who can’t afford it and some are just free loaders. Oh by the way, this is part of “freedom”
Germany not better
Communism
Abolish private insurance will lower health care costs.
Oh …let’s bring in more immigrants that should the situation…..hello is anybody home Biden 🙃🙃😡
"Price transparency" and "posting costs" is all well and good. However if you are having a heart attack, are you going to take the time to cruise the Internet to find and compare various cardiac treatment places? It's not as casual and unrushed as shopping for a new car or washing machine.
I was just billed $2,590 for a mile ride to the hospital for a low emergency call. This is so ridiculous
It's expensive because the federal government subsidies it.
You can thank Joe Biden now that anyone in South or Central America with an expensive health problem can get free treatment here .
DEMOCRATS ARE P.O.S.!!!!
Im voting Mariannewilliamson 2024❤❤❤for someone to fight for m4a.
Insurance company tried to deny a procedure I needed to blast kidney stones that were too big to pass and needed to be done soon to avoid an infection until I called and asked to talk to the kidney specialist doctor/surgeon that denied what my kidney specialist doctor/surgeon said I needed done then all the sudden it was approved.
Really good piece. Too bad it won't change a thing
Wow…now i see why a lot of USA citizens come to my country looking for Medical and Dental treatment..not only Mexico receives people from USA …
Politics, Greed and Incompetence.
Because the USA doctor make 200,000 dollars a year😂
Still free in my country!!!
Americans call Government health care socialism. In Australia we have a good Government health service and subsidised medicines. No one dies because they can't get an operation or can't afford medicine. National heath care is not socialism or communism.Your politicians are lying to you. And your Doctors,hospitals and pharma companies are the greediest in the world. A month of insulin costs me $12. In America, I heard it is $300 per week. Over a hundred times more.
We need a version of britains healthcare system just without the cockblocking from GP's and function like hospital coops.
I just listen to an American celebrity on a podcast say he waited 7 months for a hip surgery. Not everything is as it seems. I saw an American girl on youtube say she had to pay 8000$ out of pocket for a simple cyst surgery even though she had insurance.
I will say though in Canada, wait times are getting worse and worse. Especially since covid hit. Simply not enough doctors and other staff for the demand. Health care is simply to expensive and getting worse every year. When some meds cost 100.000$ month for one patient…there's so much govs and taxe payers can pay.
