You also have to wait a lot longer to get the same procedures, sometimes resulting in a surgery being unnecessary because the patient has either died or the problem has become so severe that surgery would not be effective.
No. May be that is the case in Russia, but in the EU nations there is absolutely no delay.
I don't think you understand that if you make these things cost less unilaterally then the people who perform these services will ultimately get paid less which would mean less people would enter the field and those that do enter the medical field will be less qualified.
Doctors in the EU earn almost as much as their counterparts in the US. The difference is that the middlemen don't walk away with a significant amount of money, as it happens in the US.
The second part of your argument is not supported by facts. Russia, which is having more doctors per capita than the US pays only around $1,000 to $5,000 per month for its doctors, while those in the US are paid up to $40,000 per month. And still, there is a shortage of medical seats in Russia and the demand is lower in the US. But off course, medical education in Russia costs only 1/20th of the same in the US.
