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/

Fresh off the Mueller investigation, President Trump is supporting a ruling that calls for an elimination of Obamacare. With no replacement in sight, a battle over health care could end up deciding the 2020 election.

Americans don’t drive up the price by consuming more health care. They don’t visit the doctor more than other developed countries:
http://international.commonwealthfund.org/stats/annual_physician_visits/
But the price we pay for that visit – for a procedure – it costs way more:
http://static1.squarespace.com/static/518a3cfee4b0a77d03a62c98/t/57d3ca9529687f1a257e9e26/1473497751062/2015+Comparative+Price+Report+09.09.16.pdf
The price you pay for the same procedure, at the same hospital, may vary enormously depending on what kind of health insurance you have in the US.
That’s because of bargaining power. Government programs, like Medicare and Medicaid, can ask for a lower price from health service providers because they have the numbers: the hospital has to comply or else risk losing the business of millions of Americans.
There are dozens of private health insurance providers in the United States and they each need to bargain for prices with hospitals and doctors. The numbers of people private insurances represent are much less than the government programs. That means a higher price when you go to the doctor or fill a prescription.
Uninsured individuals have the least bargaining power. Without any insurance, you will pay the highest price.
