The high cost of health care is directly related to:
The cost of the education to become a medical professional.
The cost of insuring the medical professionals from law suits.
The profit taken by the middlemen (insurance companies) that take your money and pay the bills.
The exorbitant costs added to the medical diagnostic equipment because of the possibility of being sued for malfunction or misuse.
The costs of drugs to treat patients. Because of research & development costs and lengthy approval process by the F.D.A.. Most pills have between $.001 and $3.00 in actual materials in them to make. A bottle of aspirins, the bottle and label costs more then the pills.
Lawyers — that can’t wait for the chance to sue everyone for malpractice or bad reactions to drugs. All those TV commercials from law firms cost million of $$$$$ to put on TV. They have the money to spend, thanks to our court systems and flawed laws.
