Question:
What is the biggest problem with the U.S. health care system?
Answers:
There are two big problems, one in the system, one out.
The biggest problem in the system is that it is geared to curing, not preventing disease. If more attention were placed on prevention, not nearly as much would be spent throughout the system in curing. And this is made worse by the fact that many insurance companies will not pay for prevention, only curing.
The second big problem is that insurance companies make their entire effort to prevent paying claims. There are hundreds of people working for them, and their job is to deny, not pay, claims. This makes doctors and hospitals charge more to cover the claims which are eventually denied despite their validity and the money lost on the time lag between filing and payment on those claims which are eventually paid.
