Basically, there is no quality control of health insurance at any level in the USA. There is no cost analysis per capita spent IN RETURN for the outcomes of Americans. In other words, the Conservative complainers be they politicians or media representatives have no basis for their point of view except the dollar return that results in a bottom line on corporate health care.
The question is this:
For every dollar a consumer pays for their health insurance, be it employer provided or not (including the premiums employers pay), is the return of wellness to the country optimal?
I state no. It's real simple. The current health insurance industry in the USA is laden with middle management that rejects claims and causes damage to the optimal wellness of the USA. Therefore, any cost analysis of the current insurance structure is mute.
The results of this survey is more than interesting, anyway.
