The Numbers They Hide

Hospitals, insurers, and pharma companies operate without transparency or accountability—
and you pay the price

You pay double what other developed nations pay, yet hospitals refuse to tell you prices upfront. Insurance companies deny claims without clear explanations. Drug companies charge Americans 10x what they charge Canadians—with zero accountability.

This isn't a failure of medicine. It's a deliberate lack of accountability.

Yet for all this spending, Americans get worse outcomes:

  • Lower life expectancy than most developed nations
  • Higher infant mortality rates
  • Higher rates of chronic disease
  • More medical errors and hospital-acquired infections
  • Worse maternal mortality outcomes

Unaccountable by Design

Every other developed nation provides universal healthcare for half the cost with price transparency and accountability. The difference? They hold their healthcare systems accountable to patients, not profits.

"Medical debt is the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in America. The hospitals and insurers causing it face zero accountability. This doesn't happen in any other developed nation."
