The American healthcare system, the most expensive in the entire world, is a complete mess.
For decades, it has been run by corruption and the American people have been sold out to people who are more concerned with greasing their own pockets with money, than helping improve the health of citizens.
The covid pandemic has done nothing but highlight all of the faults with the current healthcare system, and the topic was discussed by Dr. Bryan Ardis and Robert Yoho, a guest of “The Dr. Ardis Show,” which can be found on Brighteon TV.
The equivalent of 20 percent of the United States’ gross domestic product (GDP) was spent in 2020 on healthcare – around $4.1 trillion according to records.
The Biden administration has spent $12,500 per person for the year and you would think that such a high price tag, would equate to a healthier population, but it doesn’t.
The U.S had the highest number of covid in the world, with a total of 81.6 million and the number of deaths topped one million at 1,003,467 in total, also the highest in the world.
Thousands of cases have gone unreported, but what is known is that 1 out of 4 Americans have tested positive for covid. Shocking for a first world nation.
India, which has a population of 1.4 billion, many of whom live in abject poverty, came in second place with only 43 million cases and they are currently third for deaths at 522,066, after second place Brazil with 658,936.
Dr. Ardis is a medical professional and chiropractor and his guest, Yoho, is a cosmetic surgeon and emergency room physician.
“How is it possible that the United States spends more money on health care than any other country in the whole world? How is it possible that the United States of America has twice as many cases of COVID than the next highest country, which is India. And how is it possible that the United States of America has over 400,000 more COVID-19 dead citizens than any other country in the entire world from the pandemic,” Ardis said.
Ardis stressed that, “America has sucked the most at protecting its citizens from a supposedly viral pandemic.”
Yoho noted that while 20 percent of the U.S GDP was spent on covid, it failed to make a difference and the “Butchered by Healthcare” author pointed out that other First World nations like the United Kingdom and Australia, only managed to spend around 10 percent of their GDP.
Singapore only spent around 4 percent of its GDP on Healthcare, and fared far better than America. Singapore only posted 1,070,000 cases and 12,50 deaths.
Yoho said that there are a few reasons why the American Healthcare system is so broken and it’s because “half of these services are useless or damaging, And there are papers written about that all the time. Now the medical industry is a mess. And they influence (health) care in many ways,” said Yoho.
Yoho also cited the pharmaceutical industry as “the most criminal industry in history as measured by their criminal settlements with U.S. federal prosecutors. Their total settlements is about $80 billion.”
They also both believe that Dr. Anthony Fauci is to blame for the horrible handling of the covid pandemic and was also the main pusher of the vaccine, of which he helped to develop.
Under Fauci’s watch, Yoho said “companies have basically gone wild for 20 years and they’ve been allowed to do whatever the heck they want. And the last two years, it’s their old strategies writ large.”
According to Yoho, the “medical literature was entirely corrupted and our medical journals were entirely prostitutes,” of which editors are paid huge amounts of money to basically pimp for the pharmaceutical companies.
As proof, Yoho cited “an entirely fraudulent study on hydroxychloroquine that was published in Lancet. And it was so stupid that they had to withdraw it within a couple of weeks.”
The American health care system is & has been a joke for over 25 years. I’d rather go to a homeopathic healer or veterinarian for quality health car, than a woke modern day MD.
I have recognized this issue for at least the past 25 years.
When I wanted health care prior to being on Medicare I went to a hospital in Rosarito Mexico. I paid my own way and got excellent care. They discovered my cancer and removed it all 16 years ago. The total cost including a 2 week stay was 35,000. If I had insurance and gone the traditional route I likely would have spent 3 or 4 days in the hospital and have had a copay about the same as my total bill.
Medical equipment costs under Medicare are a total rip off. The system forces you to rent the equipment and just the copays wind up costing more than an outright purchase without using Medicare or most insurance. The insurance companies generally follow the Medicare model.
