American healthcare is expensive, bc the system is deliberately designed to let every player in the supply chain charge the maximum the market will bear—and the market (fragmented insurance + weak government) can't say no.
Our system needs a complete overhaul and politicians that will put us first.

Uncomplicated birth:
U.S. average charge = $13,000-$30,000
Netherlands = $3,000-$4,000
Colonoscopy:
U.S. = $1,200-$6,000
France = $200-$400
One month of insulin:
U.S. = $300-$1,000
Canada = $30-$80

There are evil people who enjoy the suffering of others.

What they say:
-We are at war with "narcoterrorists"! To prove it, we will murder people on boats!
What they do:
-Pardon convicted drug trafficker who facilitated 500 tons of cocaine being smuggled to the US
-Cut drug crime prosecutions to their lowest level in 25 years

DOJ's claim that re-assigning thousands of agents to immigration has had no impact on its other work is demonstrably untrue. Court dockets show the number of people charged with drug crimes this year is the lowest in at least three decades.
