If the US healthcare system was a country, it would be the 5th largest GDP in the world, the $3.5 trillion a year industry has become one of the world’s largest money makers, that is seen by some as a money making scam.
Only China, Japan, Germany, and the USA have a GDP that is larger than the 3.5 trillion dollar US healthcare market, if this sounds obscene to you, well that’s because it is. People should be attracted to the healthcare industry to help people not because of the mountains of money that can be made. Just like many other things in today’s society the healthcare industry has become all about pursuit of the almighty dollar and bottom line, which is just wrong.
