One system is a lot more expensive with lower outcomes. Other systems have money spent on them. "Throwing money at something" isn't really an argument. It's a political point with no agree-upon definition.
Your chart says the USA spends the most money on healthcare yes is the least healthy.
Yeah so? Are you suggesting we spend less for better outcomes? There are reasons healthcare costs more in America and it's not because we throw money at it. We shouldn't throw money at roads, btw. I hope we don't throw money at bridges.
I have no idea what your point is.
There are some who always claim we need to spend more on this or that or something here or there. Well your graph is proof spending a ton of money on something doesn’t fix issues.
we spend the most on education yet we aren’t near the top.
So you're saying that if you spend more money on something than another country, that means you're throwing money at it. We spend more than others on healthcare for the elderly and end of life care. Is that throwing money at it? My point is that you're making a political statement "throw money at it" instead of an argument. I'm in no way suggesting behavior and personal choices aren't part of the problem. It's possible that socialized healthcare is also just cheaper, more efficient and more costs effective.
Are you stupid?
im saying according to your graph we spend more money but have the worst outcome.
so throwing money at a problem is stupid. People tend to do more with less when pushed to make it work.
They could be. They're the answer for a number of conditions. That' along with diet and exercise could work for a lot of Americans.
And I explained why we spend more. Imagine if we spent less and made do. It would make things so much better. Tell Americans to spend less on pharmaceuticals (which often cost more than elsewhere). They'd be better off. You're not getting my point. Tell Americans to take a pay cut. They'd be so much better
I spent more money on a pasta dish in New Orleans than I did in Rome. I threw money at it in New Orleans but not in Rome. FYI, I actually didn't say spend "more" money on something.
There will be specific instances where the drugs make sense and help people.
There will be tremendously more instances where the pharma marketing machine cranks out a bunch of absolute BS and hurts and kills way too many people.
And most of it will be covered up.
It may happen but I don't know about being covered up. A lot of morbidly obese people don't have the ability to lose weight through will power. They tried and it didn't work
Says the guy who regularly relies on old, predictable slogans in a discussion.
FYI, "you aren't real smart" should be "You aren't really smart or, better, you really aren't smart." I reckon you ain't no good at no English.
Don't steal my use of reckon. Come up with another slogan.
A lot more 'not morbidly obese" people are taking the dope to drop a few pounds. Gee, I hope it works out ok. Really an economical and logical way to stay in shape.
My next door neighbor has been in the hospital recently for about 10 days because the drug shut down his digestive system
I think I could handle running 1.5 steps. A plan I might could stick with.
I must pre-apologize... but with all 4 of you together in one post... I had to go find this from 2023. It insists upon itself.

- The American College of Cardiology (ACC) recommended GLP-1 drugs for first-line weight management to optimize cardiovascular health.
- GLP-1 medications are more effective than lifestyle interventions and less risky than bariatric surgery, the ACC argued.
