    The US spends more than any other country on healthcare, on TOP of what individuals pay for things like insurance.

    The reason it all looks so expensive is because of how much money goes to shareholders and corporations. So yep, it could be a whole lot cheaper

      Yeah, agreed with you entirely. That’s the part that needs to change though. Because it doesn’t just look expensive, it is expensive. Because it does still go to corporations, and without changing the system, they’re not going to give that up.

        Yes that’s true, bad wording on my part when trying to talk about how much things should actually cost
