A couple quick ones are that we carry the world in this regard. We pay more because we can, that's how they price these things(drugs etc..). A company invests xxx million in a drug, they need to make xxxx million on it. They get what they can from the rest of the world and we pick up the balance. Just another way we "give" to the rest of the world and they piss on us.
And litigation. Libs and dems claim lawsuits only cost (hell I don't know the number but it's a small percentage) of the total healthcare bill. Yea, but they only include actual settlements and jury awards, not all the insurance and other costs done to protect doctors and providers from the suits or after the fact. It's BIG.
