The healthcare costs are very high in America. If you go to
another country you will not found so much expensive. Although
America has improved medical hospitals and physicians, experts, and
researchers.
Hera are some Reasons-
- Administration cost is very high in America. Running an
hospital is very expensive. AS per an estimation ¼ of the cost is
related with the administration.
- Medicare does not have the power to negotiate with the drug
makers about the prices of the drugs. This is why the drugs are so
expensive.
- Doctors are afraid of being sued if they commit any error. That
is why they recommend more tests to clear the doubts. This is
called defensive medicine. This increases the cost of the
healthcare system.
- Wages and time and work rule also affects the cost of the
health care system. The healthcare units employ more employees
because the employees have fixe working hours in a week. In other
country there is long working hours.
