Health Care Costs

The administration seems intent on making the U. S. more like the rest of the world when it comes to government-enhanced health care.

Germany leads in universal care. As of 2008, 52% of its employee costs went to government for social services and health care. France was right behind at 49% and Italy at 47%.

That tells only part of the story. Health care operated in a competitive market is a growth industry, and highly productive. That is not the case, when conducted by governments.

The reason why involves rationing of services that keep costs within the government-construct levels. And the number of doctors supplied for that demand.
