U.S. healthcare system is the most direct killer of all | Eastern North Carolina Now

Its now indifferent to human suffering, to life and death

Why are our costs so much higher and our healthcare outcomes so much worse?

There are a number of reasons, but the most important one is: our health financing system is sociopathic. That’s not hyperbole. Ours is a system that would, quite literally, “just as soon kill you as look at you.”

I found a graph on U.S. life expectancy that was produced by Max Roser, who runs the website, Our World in Data.

Our healthcare system is the most direct killer of all. It is designed to be indifferent to human suffering, to life and death.

To this system, it doesn’t matter whether a person lives or dies as long as it gets paid. That’s why our healthcare costs are so high, even though our life expectancy is so low.

Medical providers and institutions get paid for the services they provide, whether you live or die. The more services they provide, the more money they make.
