There are several important reasons why health care is so expensive in the United States, and Grossman points out perhaps the most important: the United States effectively subsidizes research and development of drugs and medical devices for the rest of the world.

one of the biggest issues is that american hospitals can't change providers so they can charge whatever the fuck they like

2018-06-20 02:06:04 UTC  

We are talking about medical development

2018-06-20 02:06:11 UTC  

not shitty single payer systems

2018-06-20 02:06:46 UTC  

i.e, if they're with company A providing catheters, they can't change to company B charging a third for the same product.

2018-06-20 02:07:00 UTC  

that shit's dumb.

These charts show the amount of patents held for NME’s, that is, New Molecular Entities, a completely novel therapeutic compound (as opposed to a new patent on just a reformulation of an existing compound). More specifically, the pie chart on the left shows the country of origin of the inventing company, and the pie chart on the right shows the country that the company/entity attributed the patent to.

2018-06-20 02:08:35 UTC  

Um yes hospitals can change distributers

2018-06-20 02:08:42 UTC  

The rest of the world does not want to play fair

2018-06-20 02:08:59 UTC

Now this is weird. I unsubscribed from Gad Saad a couple of months ago, and I just got one of his videos on my subscriptions. I go to his channel, it says I'm subscribed. That's the second time I get resubscribed to Saad's channel involuntarily.

us needs to pull more weight, they're only doing 20% more than we are.

2018-06-20 02:09:52 UTC  

@Deleted User You know another reason Health Care is so expensive in the US?

Remember those people who *Die without Health Insurance* yea they can go to the ER and it tends to get written off by the hospital

2018-06-20 02:10:07 UTC
