Pricing of healthcare services and pharmaceuticals as the biggest problem in funding healthcare in the U.S.
01/31/2008
The cost of most healthcare services are double or higher in the U.S. than in Canada, Germany, France and Japan. By not bringing prices in line with the price in other major developed countries, the U.S. is effectively defunding infrastructure, R&D, education and other important means of improving competitiveness say experts. The methods of setting price present in these countries are notably absent in the U.S. The Obama healthcare bill and before that the Bush Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit simply leave this problem unaddressed.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
