for other countries that is. Indeed, it is the best healthcare system at helping the rest of the world at the expense of the American people and the American economy.
-It is true that our healthcare system is very very good at research and development, often at the forefront of developing new medical technology or medicine. This can be done because of the massive profits companies can make on our for-profit health system. Who profits from this? Well, everyone really, but it's Americans paying for it by and large.
-Many of the healthcare insurance companies that operate in the US are foriegn owned, and boy, do they love America's privatized healthcare system.
-America's economy is made less competitive because of the extremely high cost of health insurance for companies in the US, which makes it easier for other nations to secure investment.
-Another hit to the American economy is our exceedingly bad health due to poor preventitive policies and 40 million uninsured that are only paid for in the most expensive, least efficient way imaginable.
The rest of the world benefits tremoundously from our current health care system. So the next time a Republican tells you we have the best healthcare in the world, just be sure to finish the sentance for them. We have the best healthcare insurance in the world for the rest of the world.
