In one of the most fantastic videos I've ever seen on the state of the American healthcare system, Freedomain
Radio reads a letter to the editor sent by an orthopedic surgeon, and President-Elect of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons.
The AAPS president, in a short succinct statement, utterly destroys all arguements that the free market is to blame for healthcare costs.
The AAPS president unloads so many epic win facts about healthcare that I nearly fell out of my chair while listening.
Doesn't ownership of the corporate hospitals trace back to the Vatican? I notice that the little bottles of stuff issued at a local hospital are from
a manufacturer with "Cardinal" in the title. And many of the hospitals are named after "saints". Some used to be named by the religious
denomination corporation...like Baptist Hospital, etc.
Yet, these videos claim its the federal gov regulating the costs of aspirin now. So does this mean that the federal gov regulates religious
corporations if hospitals are owned by religious denominations?
many charity hospitals (before the day and age of total government domination of healthcare) were funded by religious charities.
old people were not dying in the streets before medicare.
private charities picked up the slack.
Of course, today running a charity hospital is next to impossible thanks to the medical inflation and outrageous regulations of government running our
lives.
Many of the religious titles are due to these charity roots.
