In the USAs healthcare system today, which group do you think makes the most profit?

Question

Nurses
Hospitals
Doctors
Pharmacies
Drug Manufacturers
Insurance Companies.

And were you aware the USA has national healthcare already.
Medical care is available to EVERYONE in the country, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, regardless of ability to pay, heck even if you are not a citizen of this country. Go to any ER in any city and you will be taken care of.

Insurers have the lowest expense and the greatest margin of profit in the healthcare business, they own congress with campaign donations so they get to write their own rules. They tell the doctors what they will be paid, the doctors do not tell the insurance companies what they will charge, they wait six to nine months to pay. The insurance companies state what drugs you can use and what they will pay for them. Litigation in lawsuits for the most part are won by the insurance companies, ie they do not pay settlements.

SO when you want to rant about healthcare, look at the insurers and which politicians in Congress they control.

Answer 1

I woudl say insurance companies and drug manufacturers.

Answer 2

Insurance companies

Answer 3

Oh, insurance companies by far. We pay them monthly for something we may not even use. And if we do, we still have to pay a portion of that bill, too.

I think the insurance industry is the largest scam ever created, and is as crooked as the day is long.

Answer 4

Medical is not available to everyone in this country. I am a 63 year old woman. The company I worked for did not offer medical insurance. I retired last September with Social Security. In November I had to have major surgery. I was told by Medi-cal that I was not indigent enough to get aid, and I am too young to recieve Medicare. My ss check is under $1000.00 a month. With rent, utilities, and food. There is no money left for insurance. So I will be stuck with this huge medical bill.

Answer 5

Honey where are you from????? Cause medical insurance for everyone in the USA, sweetheart that is a dream come true!!!!

Not everyone in USA can get health coverage, and I have worked in an Emergency Room and seen people turned away who do not have insurance or credit card or cold hard cash to pay for their treatment. Try and get medical insurance if you have no address (homeless).

My grandsons can not be seen at the local doctors office because my son's ex-partner owes them money from her medical expenses and until she pays them off they refuse to allow the kids in for doctor appointments even though my son has medical insurance and the kids are covered on it.

Also if you fall into middle bracket income it is very hard to get medical coverage!! As the state coverage won't take you because you make to much money but to get it through work you are paying through the nose plus you have co-pays, percentages and prescription fees. Tell me of anyone who is earning even $20,000 a year can afford medical insurance for their family when it cost them $12,000 just to have it, then it cost them $25-30 for every doctors visit, £20 for every prescription, plus if they have to have tests, hospital stay or emergency room visit the first $1,500 or more PLUS 20% of the total bill is still theirs to cover. So what a family of 5 is now suppose to exists on about $1000 a year?? That will cover rent, car payment, groceries, clothes etc...... ???

Oh I agree with you on the Insurances and Government making big bucks out of the medical care system. But I do think you need to get the facts about medical care being available to EVERYONE in the United States correct.

Best of luck to you.

Insurers do. The exorbitant fees have been driven up by the insurers. Subsidized health care can do a lot to lower health care costs. There is a reason why medicine costs so much less abroad.

Answer 7

Insurance Companies it is.

Answer 9

Insurance followed by drug manufactururs. Doctors are at the mercy of helath care companies and so are nurses and hospitals.

Answer 10

The ones with self lack of knowledge on knowledge of skill and technology comes from God in mastering our creator's universal gifts of life for the good of mankind in planet of apes.
Blindly claimed those gifts as theirs in hanging a greedy labels on patent, copyrightsand trademark act all for a one man's own dreams in crowning themselves as the men who would be king and not for the good of mankind but to get themselves listed as billionaires in planet of apes.
Were like Sheriff of Nothingham in robbing the poor exposing their misery on self lack of knowledge for the good of mankind in planet of apes
Ever wonder do they even know what is the defiinition of " Self embarassment" when they just came and passing-by
leaving with time with their names being left and forgotten with time as his ghostly story of failures and horrors in not worshiping God in planet of apes?
