"Q. What's the most important lesson that Americans can learn from the Taiwanese example?
A. You can have universal coverage and good quality health care while still managing to control costs. But you have to have a single-payer system to do it."
The problem is still that few Americans realize that the insurance system is based on making profit by spending as little as they can possibly get away with on sick people, and dumping them if possible. The price increases are based on their knowing that the Democrats and Republican POLITICIANS are both dependent on them to insulate them from responsibility for healthcare. But it comes at a huge cost. We are wasting half of the money we spend on something that adds no value.
