U.S. health care's widespread overbilling problem

I think this is because we choose to live less healthy lifestyles rather than the quality of medical care.

Super size that...

Not just that, but remember not everybody can afford health care in US, so it's not unfathomable to think some of those bad statistics is due to people not being able to afford proper care, not just that they don't live a healthy life (which can certainly contribute to that).

I don't think the lifestyles are all that different between Canada and the US, and the healthcare expenditures in Canada are significantly lower.

I grant this is anecdotal, but you might want to learn about the Canadian system from the point of view of sick people in Canada. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2jijuj1ysw

Thanks. I live in Canada and have first hand experience with the healthcare system.
