Why does America spend more on healthcare than any nation on earth while citizens die younger, go bankrupt from medical bills, and struggle to afford basic care? The answer lies not in complex economics but in a simple truth: our leaders have surrendered to healthcare industry lobbyists.

The numbers tell a devastating story. Americans pay over $12,500 per person annually for healthcare while Germans pay $7,400, the French $6,400, and Britons under $5,400. Those countries cover everyone. We leave millions uninsured. Their administrative costs run 5-6%. Ours devour 18-20% of spending. Their citizens live approximately five years longer than Americans. This isn't failure—it's by design.

America's healthcare system operates on three principles: deny claims, defend those denials in court, and depose patients who fight back. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party repeatedly abandons meaningful reform. Remember when the public option disappeared from the Affordable Care Act? That wasn't because it lacked public support—healthcare lobbyists demanded its removal. With over $700 million spent annually on lobbying, the industry ensures Medicare for All never receives serious consideration despite expert analyses showing it would save hundreds of billions while covering everyone.

The next time you're struggling with medical bills or fighting an insurance denial, remember: this system persists not because alternatives don't work (they succeed in every other developed nation) but because our politicians choose campaign donors over patients. The Democratic Party may have surrendered to the healthcare industry, but we haven't.
