Shouldn't it be THE MOST EXPENSIVE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IN THE WORLD combined with HIGH CORPORATE PROFITS giving us LOW LIFE EXPECTANCY in the cup?

RECORD PROFITS! ...and high mortality... BUT MONEY!!!

I just meant placement of the two "supply" labels and the end result one.

The average employer sponsored health insurance plan for a family costs over $25,000 year.

Premiums increased 7% on average in 2024 and are projected to increase 10% in 2025.

UnitedHealth -- which is admittedly just one health insurance company -- posted a net income of nearly $9.5 Billion (with a "B") in the 9 months ending 9/30/24.

Private health insurance is a scam.

Get ready, the next administration is going to privatize abso-fucking-lutely everything they possibly can. Because if something doesn't make someone rich, it's being done wrong.

But I was assured that the US had the BEST healthcare system in the world by people who are vulnerable to easy populist talking points! (ignore all the innumerable metrics we're terrible on)
