Health-care spending is consistently rising around the world, but the United States is the worst performer when it comes to controlling costs. A lack of universal coverage in the U.S. and a fragmented and heavily commercialized system leads to rising costs and excessive spending. Watch the video to learn more about why health-care costs are rising in the U.S. more than anywhere else and how that can be stopped.

Why U.S. Health Care Is Getting More Expensive
Please, please please why the cost is so high. It’s the last ten days of life. Medically , doctors are by law , have to do everything to keep someone alive. They are legally obligated to keep the body alive even if the brain is dead. Americans will keep someone alive even brain dead for 20 to 30 days at 20k a day……learn to let go….. its the population not learning this lesson.
Socialist propaganda
Wouldn’t have any thing to do with healthcare and the desire for population control and getting people off Social Security and Medicare, would it.
That’s why we need trillion dollars Joe Biden is actually right
Why use the taxes to help the US citizens when we can use taxes to help citizens of another country that are already rich and benifit the world with nothing except nagging all the time and asking for more and more money to buy weapons
Medical bankruptcy is my concern.
A health care all about greed and they all promote obesity
I just listen to an American celebrity on a podcast say he waited 7 months for a hip surgery. Not everything is as it seems. I saw an American girl on youtube say she had to pay 8000$ out of pocket for a simple cyst surgery even though she had insurance.
I will say though in Canada, wait times are getting worse and worse. Especially since covid hit. Simply not enough doctors and other staff for the demand. Health care is simply to expensive and getting worse every year. When some meds cost 100.000$ month for one patient…there's so much govs and taxe payers can pay.
We need a version of britains healthcare system just without the cockblocking from GP's and function like hospital coops.
Americans call Government health care socialism. In Australia we have a good Government health service and subsidised medicines. No one dies because they can't get an operation or can't afford medicine. National heath care is not socialism or communism.Your politicians are lying to you. And your Doctors,hospitals and pharma companies are the greediest in the world. A month of insulin costs me $12. In America, I heard it is $300 per week. Over a hundred times more.
Still free in my country!!!
Because the USA doctor make 200,000 dollars a year😂
Politics, Greed and Incompetence.
Wow…now i see why a lot of USA citizens come to my country looking for Medical and Dental treatment..not only Mexico receives people from USA …
Really good piece. Too bad it won't change a thing
Insurance company tried to deny a procedure I needed to blast kidney stones that were too big to pass and needed to be done soon to avoid an infection until I called and asked to talk to the kidney specialist doctor/surgeon that denied what my kidney specialist doctor/surgeon said I needed done then all the sudden it was approved.
Im voting Mariannewilliamson 2024❤❤❤for someone to fight for m4a.
You can thank Joe Biden now that anyone in South or Central America with an expensive health problem can get free treatment here .
DEMOCRATS ARE P.O.S.!!!!
It's expensive because the federal government subsidies it.
I was just billed $2,590 for a mile ride to the hospital for a low emergency call. This is so ridiculous
"Price transparency" and "posting costs" is all well and good. However if you are having a heart attack, are you going to take the time to cruise the Internet to find and compare various cardiac treatment places? It's not as casual and unrushed as shopping for a new car or washing machine.
Oh …let’s bring in more immigrants that should the situation…..hello is anybody home Biden 🙃🙃😡
Abolish private insurance will lower health care costs.
