    Last I checked the US spent more than any comparable country on healthcare/capita, roughly twice the OECD average.
    And, they have to deal with medical bankruptcies, using Uber instead of ambulances, insulin rationing, and whatnot

          exactly. Fuck the people, just as long as shareholders get that extra 1c per share.
