There were some good thoughts on health care on another string so I thought it deserved one of its own.
It seems to me that, regardless of whether the system is public or private, it cannot succeed when health care cost for many people costs more that they have ever earned in their lives.
Can we spend millions on dying people who have never and will never contribute to our society.
Countries with public health care routinely deny high cost treatment to the elderly and dying. We have hundreds of thousands of people on medicaid where the government pays for healthcare and a whole lot of these people gave their assets away to avoid paying for nursing home care.
Anyone who thinks there is not colossal waste in health care and that litigation costs as well as unnecessary treatments to avoid litigation are not a significant part of our health care spending must be asleep.
Someone must have a solution to this, but it not me.
