Healthcare Inefficiencies and Corruption

This chapter explores the complexities and inefficiencies within the U.S. and U.K. healthcare systems, comparing them to more effective models in countries like Singapore and Switzerland. The discussion highlights the pervasive influence of lobbying, political corruption, and government size on policy outcomes, suggesting a potential shift towards a two-tier system and more market-driven solutions. It also addresses the disconnect between voter expectations and government responsiveness, emphasizing the need for reform to enhance efficiency and address public needs.
