What’s unique about the US is that we spend so much for health care that it has built up very powerful special-interest groups including the insurance industry, hospital industry, medical associations, and pharmaceutical industry. These industries receive so much money, if they only spend one-tenth of one percent of it to fight you that would amount to more than two billion dollars. You can imagine how many political campaigns they can support. You can imagine how much advertising they can put out on television and radio. That’s the difference in the United States. We’ve let the problem drag on for twenty years and built up such powerful, moneyed special-interest groups.
National Health Partners, Inc. is a national healthcare savings organization that provides discount healthcare membership programs to uninsured and underinsured people through a national healthcare savings network called “CARExpress.” CARExpress is one of the largest networks of hospitals, doctors, dentists, pharmacists and other healthcare providers in the country and is comprised of over 1,000,000 medical professionals that belong to such PPOs as CareMark and Aetna.
