This morning I found this very good summary of this issue on USA Today.
Check out this article from USA TODAY:
Seven reasons why Americans pay more for health care than any other nation
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2024/12/15/why-americans-pay-more-for-health-care/76900978007/
One problem is that the people who can improve the health care system in America (like Congress) have no skin in the game. Example: Nancy Pelosi takes a fall, breaks her hip, and gets a hip replacement in 24 hours paid by the US taxpayer. They don’t care about us, most are shareholders in Big Pharma and insurance companies.
Members of Congress must use ACA like others. They do receive an employer contribution just like millions of Americans. Her fall on government business may be handled like any on the job accident.
Except for the evacuation on a US government jet. Probably one of the huge Airforce transports you constantly see pictures of government official stepping off of in foreign lands.
Are you saying she didn’t get special treatment?
Special treatment, special circumstances. What’s the problem?
