How do you suggest the US addresses the greedy doctors, insurance companies, and hospitals who are really only in it for the money? And as to medicines, what of the immense cost of so many drugs, drugs others get for free in socialized systems? I do believe privatization can bring some good, but the US privatized example has only been a boon for the rich. There is no morality in it at all nor any motivation for drug companies, doctors, and insurance companies to do anything other than try to make more- especially when publicly traded companies are involved. I live in Hungary. The other week, a doctor in the US who I know advised a cheaper antibiotic for me as Ciprofloxacin can supposedly be quite expensive in the US. The doctor here however - who I saw in under 5 minutes- wrote the more expensive one. I shrugged and left, curious to see what the price would in fact be. It was 500 HUF, or under $2.
