Setting the Record Straight on America's Health Care (Lessons from Hoover Policy Boot Camp) | Intro

Health care is an important to everyone, but it is often misunderstood. The health care system in the United States is the best in the world when it comes to quality and access to medical care. Cost remains an issue, however, and effective reform would lower prices without impairing access, quality, or innovation.

Saying US healthcare is better quality doesn't mean anything when we spend twice as much as other developed countries. His criteria for "failure" in other countries is simply that it's relatively worse than the US, not that it failed. Which, again, you would expect when they only spend half as much as us. The europeans have a system where people aren't going bankrupt when they get sick. Even if it's not the best of the best, a lot of people still want that kind of system. I have yet to hear an argument that addresses this concern.

Here is your argument, the system that promotes the most innovations SAVES LIVES, if healthcare was "completely solved" then maybe gov could do, but the insurance in the US is OVER regulated on what it SHOULD cover rather than the actual important things it should cover. For example, in the US you use health insurance to see a Dr, this makes no sense, you dont use car insurance to get an oil change. That should be cash pay, but the health insurance in the US is not allowed to go across state lines, this is also an issue. But the main reason is that, in order to get everyone quality healthcare, you DONT give gov a monopoly over it. We all have computers and cell phones now, NOT becuz of "single payer technology", but becuz of the private market, if healthcare innovated 1/2 as fast as tech did, no one would "need to go bankrupt".... or the gov could give you vouchers like a food stamp..... but in the US we already have ER access....
