The goal of the healthcare industry in the United States is to take as much money away from you as possible. I truly wish that I was exaggerating, but I am not. Can you guess which nation spends the highest percentage of GDP on healthcare? Without looking it up, you probably already know that it is us. Gigantic pharmaceutical corporations and massively bloated health insurance companies are raking in colossal mountains of cash, and yet the quality of the healthcare that we receive in return is rather quite poor. People living in Albania, Panama and Kuwait have higher life expectancy rates than we do. Residents of Belarus, Cuba and Latvia have lower infant mortality rates than we do. We are the most medicated population on the planet and yet we are also one of the sickest. If the U.S. healthcare system was a country, it would have the 6th largest economy on the entire globe and yet rates of cancer, heart disease and diabetes continue to soar.
美國醫療保健行業的目標是盡可能多地從您那裡拿走錢。我真的希望我誇大其詞，但我不是。您能猜出哪個國家的醫療保健支出佔 GDP 的比例最高嗎？不用查一下，你可能已經知道是我們。龐大的製藥公司和臃腫的健康保險公司正在攫取巨額現金，但我們得到的醫療保健質量卻相當差。生活在阿爾巴尼亞、巴拿馬和科威特的人們的預期壽命比我們高。白俄羅斯、古巴和拉脫維亞居民的嬰兒死亡率比我們低。我們是地球上用藥最多的人群，但我們也是病情最嚴重的人群之一。如果美國醫療保健系統是一個國家，它將擁有全球第六大經濟體，但癌症、心臟病和糖尿病的發病率卻繼續飆升。
The numbers that I am about to share with you are absolutely stunning. For as much money as we spend on healthcare, we should have the greatest system in the world by a wide margin.
我即將與您分享的數字絕對令人驚歎。我們在醫療保健上花多少錢，就應該擁有世界上最偉大的系統。
But we don’t.
但我們沒有。
We have lost our way, and I don’t know if we will ever be able to find our way back.
我們迷失了方向，我不知道我們是否能找到回去的路。
At this stage, our healthcare system is completely and utterly dominated by immensely powerful money making institutions, and those institutions pour vast amounts of money into political campaigns in order to make sure that there will never be any serious reforms.
在這個階段，我們的醫療保健系統完全由非常強大的賺錢機構主導，這些機構將大量資金投入到政治運動中，以確保永遠不會有任何重大的改革。
There are literally trillions of dollars pouring through our healthcare system. Those that are becoming exceedingly wealthy from this system will do whatever it takes to protect it.
實際上，有數萬億美元流入我們的醫療保健系統。那些從這個系統中變得非常富有的人將不惜一切代價保護它。
So it is dangerous to even write an article like this.
所以連寫這樣的文章都是危險的。
Pharmaceutical corporations aren’t in the business of saving lives. What they want is for you to take their pills for as long as possible, and they want the profit margins on those pills to be as large as they can get away with.
製藥公司不從事拯救生命的業務。他們想要的是讓你儘可能長時間地服用他們的藥丸，他們希望這些藥丸的獲利率盡可能大。
Health insurance companies are more profitable when they provide lesshealthcare. Every year health insurance premiums go even higher, but when it comes time to pay out, health insurance executives will deploy their “delay, deny and defend” tactics. They will search high and low for any potential reason that will allow them to deny a claim.
健康保險公司提供的醫療保健較少時，利潤更高。每年健康保險費都會更高，但到了支付的時候，健康保險高管會部署他們的“拖延、否認和防禦”策略。他們會四處搜索，尋找任何可能的原因，從而拒絕索賠。
But of course most Americans feel that they must have health insurance because of how absurdly high medical bills have become. Many hospitals have adopted a policy of charging “whatever they can get away with”, knowing that the vast majority of their victims will never challenge their grossly inflated bills. If you have been hit with a hospital bill that is five or six figures, you know exactly what I am talking about.
但當然，大多數美國人認為他們必須有健康保險，因為醫療費用已經變得高得離譜。許多醫院採取了“任何他們能逃脫的錢”的政策，因為他們知道絕大多數受害者永遠不會質疑他們嚴重膨脹的帳單。如果您遭受過五六位數的醫院帳單打擊，您就會確切地知道我在說什麼。
The system is broken.
系統壞了。
Everyone knows it.
大家都知道。
But it never gets fixed.
但它永遠不會得到修復。
