Here are some facts about the US healthcare industry:
1) Each person spends, on average, $2,550 a year on healthcare corruption or waste (that's from $10,466 a year average spending on healthcare). That's $765 billion is wasted a year on unnecessary spending.
2) In the UK each person spends, on average, $3,720 a year on healthcare.They don't have to pay for health insurance companies
3) Administrative costs of healthcare insurance companies are 7% of healthcare spending (or $733 a year on average per person)
4) Health companies spent $258 million a year giving to political candidates and $510 million a year on lobbying.
5) The US rarely has the best results for healthcare, such as death rates from cancer and so on.
This is the ridiculous nature of a system which is designed to make people rich, rather than designed to make people better.
Here is some evidence to back this up.
