27. You are 100% correct….


As a health care policy researcher…your insights are almost total correct. America has the worst care and the highest cost. The medical community is only concerned with the bottom line. Medical care kills at a minimum 80,000 Americans per year due to error…that is approximately 30 times more than were killed in the two towers….Yet we do nothing. If we spent even a part of what was spent in Iraq, we might save 40,000. A single life is unvalued in today’s medical system. A doc loses someone due to error, hell he just makes sure his ass is covered and goes to the country club.
