Summary

The United States spends almost twice as much on healthcare compared to other developed nations. And in spite of all of the technologies, specialists, and medications we have available, The United States ranks dead last in terms of health outcomes. It’s clear that something isn’t working.

 The problem is, we don’t have a healthcare system; we have a sickcare system that profits off of the farming of sick people. The pharmaceutical companies and the insurance companies only exist to make money. The United States healthcare system doesn’t have an interest in helping our citizens find the root cause of their ailments.
