10. Our country needs to be taught where the medical money is going.

we are paying twice as much as other countries, per capita, and we have hundreds of billions of dollars going to stock buybacks and dividends.
We also have multi layer companies like United healthcare, taking a cut at every level of their empire. We pay insurance, such as United healthcare, and they pay hospitals that they own, doctors that they employ, administrators who work to deny claims, pharmacies that they own, And they make investments in AI to issue claim denials.
