We have for profit hospitals and insurance plans. They are no better.
Businesses will deny healthcare just to keep their profit margins. You got an expensive cancer? Heres the phone number for Hospice.
You can keep the same system we have now and everything would be great if you face where most of the money goes, end of life. We will spend on average 45% of our total healthcare expense in our whole lifetime in the last 6 months of our lives.
Families cant just let mom or granny go. All the expensive care is covered so lets spend a million or more giving her another 3-6 months of life. If we could just let the elderly at the end of life die instead of spending treasure to give our 87 year old grandma another 3-5 months. But, thats never going to happen.
