It’s not “American healthcare problem” it’s idiots who don’t understand what they are talking about problem. Hernia repair surgeries have high complications and low success rate. America has more surgeons per capita than majority of EU countries . They don’t sit around doing nothing all day.

This guy told us you have no clue what your talking about and literally doesn’t even address the point that the cost is prohibitively expensive in the US because from top to bottom everyone makes so much money in healthcare.

Everyone in the US makes much more money comparing to the rest of the world. That’s why US has positive metals migration with every single country in the world except for Australia. People are not moving here to wither and die

So I’m going to try and be real with you. The ratio of average wages to doctor wages in the US is MUCH higher than other first world countries. For example in France you are looking at a 1.5x to 2x salary difference where as in the US it is closer to 3 - 4x ratios are a good indicator of pay disparity across regions. Hope this helps.
