Because other countries depend upon American medicine but don't pay their fair share towards its research.

americans get "tax raped" almost as much but get absolutely NOTHING in return for it. consider the payroll tax. half of it is "hidden" as employer side. but who pays? you, ultimately, since it is incurred only when you work for an employer and in theory comes from what they would have budgeted for your cost to them. IE you pay it pre-salary (similar to the concept of pre-tax expenses.) then you have federal, state, and local taxes, sales, liquor/luxury/etc special taxes, capital taxes, etc. Let's say you buy a bicycle. You work 10 hours at 12/hour and get taxed 20% income tax. (not including the other 6.5% employer side payroll tax on that 120) you get 100 dollars, and you buy a bike for $93 with $7 of sales tax. you paid 27 dollars in tax so far. now you sell the bicycle for $193 dollars and are taxed 15% capital gains on the $100 of profit, so another $15. you have paid 42 in tax so far. let's say you put that $100 into an investment account, make 10% profit, and pay 25% short term capital gains. there's another $2.50 in tax on the same money for a fourth time. now let's say you take all that money and buy a handle of jack... now pay sales tax and liquor tax, and the rest of your previous profits? drop them into your property tax for the year, drop in the bucket.

the WAY the taxes are structured here are deceptive. there's a lot of recursive taxes and shadow taxes to pay. by the end of it i wouldn't be surprised if we have europe level taxation. but after all that? you get NOTHING. the public transit is a joke. there's no law and order, america is a shithole of constant widespread randomized crime and violence. in a country like japan you can go out and get shitfaced drunk, wander around all night, and wake up in the morning with your wallet still in your pocket and no bulletholes or rapist ejaculate on your clothes. in the US you have a constant stress from constant danger that just doesnt exist in civilized places. we pay five figures for our education all financed on %8 interest rates, we pay our own healthcare expenses and pay the most in the world for them even AFTER accounting for what yuros pay in tax. our water system is a joke and our internet is third world.

Having an entire bloated health insurance industry funneling trillions into being middlemen is an objective drain on the system, for one thing. If medicine is set up as a for-profit industry, how would eliminating the profit margin do anything but reduce costs to citizens?

Lol. I can name ten fields off the top of my head where the groundbreaking research and implementation of new methods and technology is all taking place outside of the US. Including so called third world shitholes. Maxillofacial surgery and orthodontics for example, is still in the stone age in the US, even colombia is more advanced in that field, and the bulk of research is being conducted by asian and european countries.

You mean the other 8. Maxfac and orthodontics are separate fields despite having some crossover.

Plastic surgery, dermatology, ophthalmology, urology and chemical engineering. Ok so it was 7 instead of 10, sue me. The US along with China leads the world in scientific publications... with a big asterisk: the bulk of publications are publish or perish nonsense, endless regurgitation and commentary on precedent research.

this. money from the (((insurance))) goons NECESSARILY comes between paying money and getting care. it's a leech. a multi trillion dollar leech. remove the leech.
it's incredible people here think insurance HAS to be a part of healthcare. they cant even conceieve that a bunch of paper pushers soak up funding and might provide no value. if it doesn't hold a stethoscope, a scalpel, or a syringe, it doesn't belong on a paycheck.

Switzerland and Belgium do the most research and produce the most medicine per capita.

>> No.15038603

It's not a question of taxes or not, because with taxes on average people end up paying the same thing.
The problem with the US is that everything healthcare-related costs on average 2x more than in rich European countries (visits to a doctor, a pill, a visit to the ER, a medication, etc..). So doctors and CEO's of pharmaceutical companies make much more money than in Europe. That's were Americans are getting fucked.
In America you always have the possibility of "making it", of becoming a doctor or a high manager, making a lot of money, much more than in other countries. But it means that by "making it" you fuck others, who have to pay more for you to earn so much money.

Let me explain socialism to you, then you will know
All things are properties relating to one another, reality is the infinite market. The obtainment of anything requires an equilibrium of exchanged property. A property may be anything physical, social, or anything that can be related to something else, which is anything for such a nonrelated thing could not exist. The price of a mother's love for her child could be said to be 1 currency unit of ‘child of appropriate social relation to female’(what is valued as an appropriate relation is a separate matter). Any other currency unit would not be sufficient, whether it’s do the inflated rate of the currency unit on the price, or a nontransferable standard in relation to the property. Such as one pound of dirt could be sold reasonably for one gram of gold, but not even one hundred million million pounds of dirt could match the price of a ‘mothers love for her child’ for the currency exchange of ‘material object’ to ‘social relation’ can not be matched in the given existence of the universe. For the Human person, it can then be said that I have found no greater value of property to relation than the social. To the point where ‘the social’ is the property of relation. To have a relation between properties is the social force. I then state my definition of socialism to be “The communal property of valued things.” (value is in the estate of utility) Communal being defined as interlinked social relations, the communal is a market of social properties. The utility of which is the survival of the species, human nature. All things are properties relating to each other in a market. Socialism is the most natural and efficient form of this. (Markets being a force of nature.)

Portugal has also a significant chuck of african descent people and is still nº3 on most peaceful countries in the world. Despite having a super low household income compared to most countries. You would be surprised how having safety nets and other social services impacts society at large.
