Quote:This is exactly what people dont get, our system spends it's efforts and money in two places, managing old age and combating preventable diseases. Neither of those is something our population can or will change.

Totally agree on the managing old age part, which is something I referred to much earlier. What I haven't seen other than one anecdote, is how our system differs regarding the elderly from any other Non-Beveridge system. But this does nothing to explain why our costs for procedures or drugs are so much higher than other countries.
