Our healthcare system's benefit is that you can't be suddenly bankrupt due to a disease. I.E if you get cancer, you're not gonna be in sudden need of 250K to survive.
I'd say we need to improve our healthcare with a two-tier system, rather than single-payer.
Here's a dirty little secret: A lot of people end up not paying their hospital bills in the US. Hospitals and doctors then sell the debt to debt collectors for pennies on the dollar, and declare the loss on their taxes.
Yep and they keep negotiating with insurance for a while. Never pay the first bill as likely sooner another cheaper revised one will likely show up, but if you paid the first one it's mot like you'd get a refund for the difference later.
