Instead of being praised for helping people, doctors and health care providers are praised for lowering the costs. How is this right? Why do you think we're #37 on the list in the world.

And they need to make as much profit as they can. So they lower their costs and the claims they pay out, but will want you to see this other doctor and take this new drug.
They all have schemes that try to limit the amount of stuff the insurance company has to pay for.
And private insurance companies are more inefficient than government if you view profits and bonuses as loses. In a non-profit, that money wouldn't need to be collected. Private insurance might cover more stuff, but I really don't need insurance coverage for a lot of those things. It is the $25,000 bill I worry about. Not the $1,000 one. I would at least like to see government insurance for everyone if your bill is over $10,000 or $20,000. And people who are working and paying taxes should get preferential treatment, but it doesn't mean that the uninsured shouldn't be able to get catastrophic treatment without paying taxes
I'm not saying the government would get it right at first, but it can't be any worse than the messed up system we have today.
