In this CF&P Foundation video, Eline van den Broek explains that government interference is driving up healthcare costs in America and warns that European style health "reform" will make the situation even worse. Based on what has happened in Europe, she explains that universal health coverage is not the same as universal healthcare, that insurance mandates mean more government control, and that More..

Europe as a whole has a much higher standard of living and far better healthacare along with a longer lifespan for all.

Actually...The Health Statistics from europe cannot be fairly compared to the US...For example in teh US we count ALL INFANT DEATHS...
In Europe there is no set standard, some counties do not count infants that die within 24 hours of birth, while others do not count them at all if the child is born before the expected date (early).
So you see, you are the one who has gobbled up the propaganda and lies because you are ignorant and lazy....America has the BEST healthcare system in the world.
Thats why the RICH and ELITE from Europe and everywhere else come to America for serious treatment.
EVERYTHING SOCIALIST IS FAILURE...Without Exception.

Hospitals run by companies that try to make as much money as they can out of old, weak and sick people. Now thats messed up.
I suspect most people in America dont have a clue how it realy is in europe, while we over here get a nice look on how your system works, or dont work, in documentaries like sicko. And watching news and discuttions about it.

You could say the same thing about making cars, producing milk, or mobile phones.
If you have free market competition and consumer choice, it keeps costs down.
What we don't need is the government creating a monopoly that will bankrupt us even faster than we're already going broke.

Want to know why health insurance is so expensive? It's called the government. Google search Certificate of Need. Get educated and understand that the government is already too involved and makes everything expensive. We need to get government out of the system now and let free market lower health care costs. You can't even get beds for hospitals, CT machines or MRI equipment without a Certificate Of Need. Basically a government certificate that you have to have to buy anything in healthcare which makes everything crazy expensive. Less Government is the key to cheap affordable health care.

"Dont" sic display your ignorance of the English language, nor your lack of understanding of how a healthcare system works.

Can you find US statistics not counting infant death? I tried with varied results. Nothing really close to each other.

Private health insurance needs to pay the cost of collecting the premiums plus a profit for the company and the shareholders. FACT. That is why it is expensive.
