Everyone loves to say America’s healthcare system is broken—but what if they’re wrong about why? In this response to an op-ed calling out the supposedly evil profiteering of American healthcare, Ian dismantles the tired lie that “the sicker you are, the more someone profits.” Socialized medicine sounds humane... until you actually live under it. Long waitlists. Denied treatments. Government deciding who gets care...and when. In countries like the UK and Canada, patients die waiting for cancer treatment or flee to America for urgent care.
Meanwhile, here in the U.S., we’re told that more bureaucracy, more red tape, and more taxes will fix everything. Spoiler alert: they won’t. We already have one of the most regulated healthcare systems on earth—and it’s driving up costs, not lowering them.
Want real reform? Start with price transparency, deregulation, innovation, and trusting the American people! Healthcare should serve people—not government. Don’t fall for the feel-good slogans. “Free” healthcare is anything but free.
