In the US, the very same blood test can cost at one clinic and 2 at another clinic just blocks away — and nobody knows the difference until they get a bill weeks later. Journalist Jeanne Pinder says it doesn’t have to be this way. She’s built a platform that crowdsources the true costs of medical procedures and makes the data public, revealing the secrets of health care pricing. Learn how knowing what stuff costs in advance could make us healthier, save us money — and help fix a broken system.

Republicans have now had a decade to figure out a better approach to American healthcare but still haven’t come up with a single viable plan. But don’t worry, Donald Trump’s acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney swears that Republicans just had a super great meeting last weekend and they are so close to having a healthcare plan ready for the public. It’ll never happen, and even if it does, it’ll be a complete disaster for American citizens. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Last saturday, a group of Republicans met at Camp David where they did their best to spend about half a day trying to come up with a new health care plan for the United States. They spent about half a day working together thinking that they could come up with a healthcare plan just in a few short hours. Um, after the meeting, Mick Mulvaney, Donald Trump’s acting chief of staff told Fox News that, yeah, we’re uh, we’re very close. I mean, we’re going to be coming up with a plan very soon, so you just be ready for it. Fox News and all our Republicans because we’re totally, totally have something real that’s going to come out. Uh, let me read you the exact quote. I do think you’ll see a plan here fairly shortly. Republican’s have better ideas than Democrats. We should not be afraid to talk about that. We want to run on this. I W I wish there was more. I wish I could give you details of this awesome plan that’s so much better than the Democrats. Unfortunately, Mulvaney didn’t elaborate on any of that. He didn’t say exactly when. We’re going to get the plan, but just that it’s going to be so amazing that Republicans are totally running on this in 2020 and that only leads me back to the point I’ve been saying repeatedly for many, many months now. And that’s Republicans have had 10 years to come up with any kind of healthcare plan. Yes.
And they’ve repeatedly failed to do show. I’m literally, you guys have been running on this issue since the 2010 midterms after Obamacare was actually passed. And even back in 2009 when it was being discussed and in debate and, and being drafted, and we had these conferences together, we had the town halls of it. We had meetings, we had everything you guys had nothing to say and nothing to offer except to tell us the Democrats are dumb. You’ve had a decade and you think you’re going to fix this issue by meeting at Camp David for a few hours on a lazy Saturday. No. Okay. Nobody in this country should trust any republican elected official on the issue of healthcare.
Okay. After 10 years, you still don’t have a plan, but you swear that it’s coming just around the corner and even though you’re still talking about repealing Obamacare, you don’t have a replacement for it. Donald Trump said he wants to make the Republicans the party of healthcare, the party of preexisting conditions, and I don’t disagree with them on that because I do believe that the Republican Party has some kind of preexisting condition and I think that needs to be looked at and examined by mental health professionals. But aside from that, this party has no plans. Why?

Could a single-payer, government-run health care system work in the United States? We already know the answer, because America already has single-payer, government-run health care. Author and commentator Pete Hegseth explains.

Script:
Would a government-run, Canadian-style health care system work in the United States, a nation of 320 million people?
Well, we already know the answer. Just ask America’s veterans—they’ve had government-run health care for decades.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (known as the VA) runs the largest hospital and health care system in America. The VA employs over 340,000 people—twice the size of the Marine Corps. And it has a 0 billion annual budget, making it the second largest department in the Federal Government. Only the Department of Defense budget is bigger.
The VA is a true single-payer health care system. It runs over 150 hospitals and 1,400 community-based clinics across all 50 states. The doctors, nurses, administrators – everyone that works for the VA – is a government employee. The system actively serves some 7 million patients—one-third of the 21 million veterans alive in the U.S. today.
Sounds impressive, right?
But for the past few decades—and especially for veterans of the war in Vietnam, as well as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, where I served—the VA has been an abysmal failure: inefficient, bureaucratic and sometimes deadly.
Among veterans, horror stories about the VA abound. These stories were tragically brought to light in 2014, when whistleblowers in Phoenix revealed that 1,700 veterans there had waited an average of 115 days just to receive an initial appointment. According to the VA’s official policy, that wait time should have been no more than 14 days.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, the Phoenix VA then lied about it, releasing falsified waiting lists to the public to cover its tracks.
Phoenix turned out to be the norm, not the exception. The VA’s inspector general found systemic problems across the country.
In Fort Collins, Colorado, for example, clerks were instructed to falsify records to show that doctors were seeing more patients than they actually were.
In Columbia, South Carolina, delays in diagnosis and treatment directly led to the deaths of multiple patients. The VA program there had nearly 4,000 backlogged appointments despite a million grant earmarked to reduce delays.
And in the VA’s hospital in Pittsburgh, in 2011 and 2012, there was an outbreak of Legionnaires’ Disease that officials knew about for more than a year before informing patients. At least six veterans died as a result.
The Obama Administration’s own Deputy Chief of Staff, Rob Nabors, revealed that VA health care has a “corrosive culture” with “significant” and “systemic failures.”
The politicians’ response to this debacle? Spend more money — a lot more money. The VA’s budget has almost doubled since 2009. They’ve hired 100,000 new people in the past decade. Wait times have actually gone up, yet not one administrator was fired for the wait-list scandal.

President Donald Trump Moves To Strip Health Care From 20 million | All In | MSNBC Video Rating: / 5
In which John discusses the complicated reasons why the United States spends so much more on health care than any other country in the world, and along the way reveals some surprising information, including that Americans spend more of their tax dollars on public health care than people in Canada, the UK, or Australia. Who’s at fault? Insurance companies? Drug companies? Malpractice lawyers? Hospitals? Or is it more complicated than a simple blame game? (Hint: It’s that one.)
For a much more thorough examination of health care expenses in America, I recommend this series at The Incidental Economist: http://theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/what-makes-the-us-health-care-system-so-expensive-introduction/
