High cost of entry to become a doctor is one
Okay but
I've forgotten the standard reasons.
for-profit insurance, lack of competition, for-profit drug companies, for-profit education for drs, for-profit student loan companies (and btw I'm a capitalist, I just think most of the costs of obfuscated so not easy to compete)
Patients pay the bill ultimately for doctors going to school
Dirty tactics by insurance in general
insruance meanting health insurance and malpractice
hospitals charge different rates and many times you can't just "shop around" because the billing codes are "hidden" unless you know how to navigate the beauracracy
and that's just for starters
and again, I'm for competition and not for socialism, but that's not what we're talking about here
Ah, one more thing I can blame the colleges for.
I want these companies to be able to make money to provide a service
Seriously what the shit are we doing.
High dependency on doctors, one could point to insurance as part of it. Creates the thought process that if I am paying for it I might as well use it, causing high demand on a low supply of medical attention naturally raising prices
again, it's not just one thing
and it's spiraled
so people instinctively want to go the opposite way
to the extreme
Let me put it this way, how much should a Doctor make?
you know, I commend Bernie for actually sticking to his principle rather than being an Obama or hillary and try and give a non=answer
he was pretty straight forward: People need healthcare, they most get it from their job, if you can't figure out how to offer it, you should not be offering people jobs.
the whole healthcare tied to job is wrong, imo
I was not going that route @LotheronPrime
very near sighted since it basically means if healthcare is too expensive for even business to offer then no one gets a job and they cannot afford anything
but that is socialists for you
only care about the feels now, damn the future
yeah I think it should be separated from a job
but at least he was up front about a hard fact of his doctrine
yup
I think his numbers are off
I don't think it's one of those things that can accurately be calculated anyway
I want to point out what I was saying earlier, most people might believe that a doctor ought to be paid something like 90k a year, but why?
I think the market should decide that
like 10 years of college
if they don't make 90k a year they will be in debt forever
lmao
given enough Drs it would be 90K right? oversimplification, but I'm sure it would
Given the current market though
exactly grenade
and universities are almost for-profit now and those costs have spiraled
