Why is health cost so expensive?

High demand and low supply.

Raise supply.
End patents, end restrictions, uncap med school positions, hand out residencies ASAP.

Lowering price without raising supply, i.e, price controls, means demand will exceed supply and rationing will occur.

Medical malpractice is virtually impossible to even get off the ground in an court case now. Only the most outrageous of shit gets into see an judge, much less an jury, and more often than not, its because other medical practitioners or lawyers want to see an specific medical doctor taken out more than because of their actions. The medical profession closes ranks every bit as much as cops and judges do.

The judges in courts, their fellow doctors, nurses, prosecutors, media, and even your own council always give focus to protecting or minimizing the damage you can do onto those whom profess to do no harm. And should you make it to jury, the majority of jurors will give benefit of the doubt to the doctor/specialist far above what is warranted. Then should you win, the actual payout is either dribbled along for decades before judgements are paid or so low month to month that you will not be able to afford the medical bills you most assuredly will have after such crimes that you will be bankrupt anyway. And the money is never enough compared to what actually happens for those whom 'make it'. Your only really hope is being an minority in an majority minority area, the ghetto lottery is a thing. And to top it ALL off, once you actually WIN. You are blacklisted from vast segments of the medical profession since you are an risk at best, or most likely seen as an outright con man whom victimized the profession.

You really should look into what is going on with the medical profession. I've already decided should my family need major medical care my doctors are more than likely going to die very viciously in retribution. Not because I care one way or another on doctors or the profession but because the highest chances are that they are going to either hurt my family even more than the original issue or allow their own negligence to exasperate the issues to critical levels. Its an matter of principle and one of my lines I will not accept. I cannot do a host of things to save my own in many cases, in such an situation, natural law will superseded mere opinions on crime and justice.

This is the truth of our society today. Another lie upon an fucking lie.

1. ER forced to take care of niggers and landwhales then billed to gov
2. artificially limited medical schools
3. laws fobidding open pricing and allowing providers to charge whatever they want after the service is rendered. Basically this creates monopoly pricing because pricing info isn't free.
4. Because of point 3, insurance companies are the only way to not get ripped off but they are run very inefficiently (claims processing is a nightmare) and soak up a huge amount of the margin
5. Copyright laws make medication absurdly expensive even when research was funded by government (lobbies ensure government does not excercise their copyrights permitting monpoly drug pricing)
6. Malpractice kikery drives insurance up
7. Insurance plus government regs make healthcare such a depressing post modern nightmare that doctors quit, turn to drugs, or just kill themselves. This means fewer providers and more expensive care.
8. Many places forbid basic health services without doctor's permission furthering chokepoint in care. For example there is not reason a basic web hueristic couldn't recommend a series of lab test to narrow down your diagnosis with extreme efficiency. But instead you'll need a couple useless doctor visits before you can even get testing.

I forgot most importn
9. Landwhales are incredibly expensive to keep alive and take many decades to die slow extremely costly deaths

And why did med school cost so much in the first place? Because they want to limit the supply of doctors. United States has gotten a bit better with the recognition of DO instead of just MD degrees, but there also needs to be some price negotiation between the government and the private hospitals and practitioners to standardize their treatment price.

The worst excuse I have heard is how people claim that America health care is the best in the world, and that's why Americans should pay a premium, well, yes and no. America has a lot of good doctors, but it also has a lot of mediocre doctors that shouldn't be overpaid for the services they provide, and while licensing works, the pay is usually standardized to an extremely high amount.

People complain about lacking doctors, and yet we don't see an increase in medical schools, nor do we see increase in residency positions for graduates. America loves to complain about it, being a literal cuck, while taking no action in solving this problem at all.

Ultimately the healthcare industry should not be given a blank check when they are working with the government, in fact, the government leadership does have the ability to influence and lower the price of medicine if they have the political will to negotiate prices with the medical and pharmaceutical community, it's just that the government employees are pretty gutless when it comes to confrontation and are willing to turn a blind eye to the problem so they can get an easier retirement rather than actually negotiating against the medical community and big pharma into standardizing the drug prices. Since modern hospitals and big pharma are now running like a business, the way how government treats healthcare should also be how governments treat other businesses, and that is with a lot of skepticism and negotiation to standardize the care practices. Ultimately, corporations will have to bow to the national interests because they will still be able to make money, but the government should exert force to remind the health care industries that their interest should be to serve the citizenry first.

Of course, this will only happen if we don't have a cucks running the government. And as much as I am okay with the current leadership, I don't think health care is the major focus of what Trump have in mind. It will probably take a while until it is solved.

It's an interesting point you are pointing out, doctors do get it pretty easy once they hold position after med school. Again, I don't think that the doctors I go for are necessarily going to be as competent as somebody from an elite school, and yet, they are still paid very well for being mediocre at their job.

...

Because lawsuits. 25% of prescriptions/procedures doctors do are completely unnecessary but they do them so their patient won't sue them.

I was mostly talking about redundant licencing for every stupid little thing from what hospitals they are allowed to practice in to what equipment they are allowed to use. Even then, there's nothing suggesting you couldn't sue for much of the same shit and the consequences could even be the same. Chiropractors for instance don't require a medical licence in order to practice their profession so I don't see a reason why the same idea can't be applied to other fields of medicine.
And god forbid you might actually have to do your research to make sure you're not seeing the local witch doctor instead of a well practiced orthopedic surgeon.

Part of the problem is that the redundant licencing prohibits capable individuals from performing duties that they would otherwise be perfectly proficient in. An MD is required to do every little minor procedure where another degree or adequate nursing experience could handle it. It would save a lot of time and resources if my optometrist could lance a sty instead of having to refer to the Ophthalmologist every time. The constant tossing around patients to see specialists for even minor shit inflates costs everywhere and bogs down the system when patients really need care. Even if there were specialized training for surgical professionals, where they would only handle just a few specific routine procedures without having to deal with clinicals it would help free up doctors and streamline the system to reduce costs.

It isn't when you get rid of (((socialized))) health "care".
When people are responsible for their own and only their own health care it's incredibly cheap. Insanely cheap.

very true and if OP dont wanna pay for it he should kill himself …
