We have the technology to provide food, homes and medical care to everyone, We don't currently have the technology and resources to do that. Thankfully capitalism has been increasing the standard of living for everyone on earth, though, so one day we might get there. gunplagirl posted... it's only because there's not necessarily a financial benefit in doing so as well as artificial inflation of prices (especially in the US where insurance is mandatory to keep medical expenses down and by that I mean between a patient and their insurance they'll pay pennies on the dollar combined compared to an uninsured patient for a routine treatment)... I could go on about the insurance industry as it's what I'm certified in and whatnot. But basically, it is a major part of why medical care in the US is expensive. See also, federal student loans and the increase in tuition. Tuition went up because the federal government made easy money available to literally anyone, which means costs will go up as school administrations take advantage of the easy money. One of the major reasons why healthcare in America is so expensive is because we spend 20% of our yearly healthcare spending on obesity and 10% on smoking. If our population didn't have smoking and obesity epidemics, we'd be healthier and cheaper to insure. It is not sustainable to try to throw tax money at healthcare while our nation is getting fatter and lazier. --- Do good. Eat communists. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
