radical for-profit “investment” in healthcare research, production, and administration makes outcomes worse, not better

not to be a raging commie but this upsets me

    the rest of the money and funds that are calculated into charts like this should be identified as financing a private for-profit medical / health industry.

    Lol, change the rules to make the numbers look better, eh?

    Per capita spending should include the money wasted going to for profit health care, because that’s money wasted that should have gone to health care, and is a contributor to that high number. Don’t lie to yourself to make the metrics look better, solve the actual problem.

      I don’t think that was the intent, more how much health care actually costs vs. how much just goes to pad people’s wallets.
