Okay, if all of this "red tape" of rules and regulations and paperwork is the problem than why is it that the countries who ALSO require the same paperwork, many of whom have more strict regulations and all of whom have more government intervention pay less?Do I have an evidence, you mean like a blurry graph from the internet with 4 lines on it? or some whitehouse.gov statistics? I could tell you my personal story working in the healthcare field but you know - weed forums - don't want to get that personal.....I tried to give general examples - the healthcare system is behind in technology for one, Do you know what goes on at the nurses desk in a busy emergency room? I know this very well from several emergency rooms - when you visit the emergency room because you bumped your toe there is a stack of paper on you thousands of pages long, hundreds of faxes are sent out, enough legal paperwork to fill a small bath tub is written about your toe. Professionals are not able to give the best treatment possible often times.
This is why your argument makes no sense. If government bureaucracy was the source of all of our healthcare costs(and other factors like health are similar - which they are), than we as the nation with the least government intervention in the healthcare feild would have lower costs because of it, right? It's exactly the opposite; Our costs are higher despite less government intervention. How does it make sense to blame government intervention for the extra costs?
