The goal of the healthcare system should be to treat people.
The goal of a good healthcare system is to treat people. The goal of ours is to treat the rich to another yacht. Healthcare providers bill far above cost for profit, knowing that either the insurance or the patient will have no choice but to eat the cost. Insurance providers use high healthcare costs to justify high policy prices and then do unethical shit to avoid paying out.
The hospitals make money. The insurance company makes money. The shareholders and corporate owners make money. The people needing healthcare get screwed.
The system is, unfortunately, working as intended for those who benefit from it being the way it is.
