Why the cost increase?

SS has a 3% overhead for administration cost. Private heath care insurance companies are 15-27% and they are paid to say NO, NOT fix the patient, BUT pocket the money and limit YOUR service.

That's it in a nutshell. All the countries that have some form of universal health care use some form of insurance but not for profit insurance to run things. Some feel the private sector can do it better but they are limited in the same manner as a well run public service. 

Everyone makes out, have pensions, cradle to the grave coverage, are paid better and have a higher quality of life with longer life expectancies. I could never find a downside to all of that.

Sure, it's not perfect, but it's a damn sight better than what we now have.

All the best,

Who knew substance abuse and alcoholism was the fault of the healthcare and insurance system? Additionally, whatever the admin overhead is for SSI and helath insurance companies its a moot point, they arent in the same business.

real meeting of the minds in here huh. lmao

Did you pay out of pocket to have it put back in the wrong place?

That is the problem, Insurance companies see their patrons not as patients but as business assets. Heathcare is not about anyone getting rich or poor. It's a necessity of life just like good water, and clean air. Some things should just be understood, in spite of them being used to control population growth on the down low..

Brazil's beef is 1/2 the cost of US beef. WHY? On the hoof US beef has doubled in price over the last 18 months on CA or Nevada cattle. (4 inoculations not the 7 or 11). Good beef. I quit eating it..
