The cost of medical care in America is shocking. Over 60% of all bankruptcies in America are because of medical bills. Most of them were people that had good insurance.
The lawyers make sickingly large amounts of money from doctors. Insurance companies make massive amounts by raising rates every year. Doctors make huge amounts of money when someone could just look up 99% pf all symtoms in a database and most doctors could never figure out the last 1% any way.
I used to purchase meds whenever I travelled over seas. Prescription antihistamines mostly but I'd also pick stuff for others. I'd pay a few bucks for meds that cost over $100 here. Even if you have a good prescription plan it's cheaper in every country I've visited.
America needs to remove the lawyers from the system and all free enterprise to bring in drugs from other countries. That alone would cut costs drastically. Of course you can still get a 75$ Tylenol in the hospital and that's another issue.
It's sad but as long as Fox News keeps people hating each other and America is busy watching Paris then they can fuck us all forever.
