Fix Our Healthcare System
In 2010, doctors performed at least 51 million surgical procedures in the United States, or 1 for every 6 Americans.
In 2013, journalist Steven Brill wrote an exposé of the exorbitant costs of healthcare in America. He reported that since 1998, the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries “have spent $5.36 billion ….. on lobbying Washington.” In comparison, during the same period, the defense industry spent $1.53 billion on lobbying efforts. As Brill summed up: “That’s right: the health-care industrial complex spends three times what the military-industrial complex spends in Washington.”
