America is using a greedy healthcare process

 Doctors are doing a great job. Doctors are generally not greedy, even if they are, they are not the greedy part that causes excessive cost.

The main problem is the healthcare payment plans. The other problems are hospitals and pharmaceutical companies. These are all making a profit off of sick humans. God makes people sick, so these parts of healthcare want to make more and more money off of an endless supply of sick people.

Contrast this with veterinary care. The Vet is cheap. Incredibly cheap compared to human care. If your dog has cataracts it's too bad. If your dog dies it's too bad. Humans talk and complain and blame the healthcare system and the media feeds on this stuff, and it drives prices incredibly high. 

We hear terms like quality of life and acceptable pain levels, but people blame healthcare for their sicknesses. The system is expected to produce perfection, but that's impossible. People make mistakes, and people die. It makes us angry and we want accountability, but malpractice suits only drive the costs higher.

Also, people want the latest cutting edge unproven medicine or surgery, but then sue when it doesn't work perfect. After all, this stuff is supposed to make you well. 

So, my solution is to take the profit away from everything, but doctors. The healthcare industry would be nonprofit, except doctors. Then accept that people die. If a doctor or hospital is committing crimes, they are criminals and would be tried in court for breaking laws, like killing or injuring people on purpose.
