MUSK, RAMASWAMY: IT´S A NO BRAINER, A BANANA REPUBLIC HAS THE $1.2 TRILLION ANSWER YOU ARE LOOKING FOR

When it comes to healthcare, the United States is often seen as a global leader in medical innovation and cutting-edge technology. But behind the heavy stars and stripes curtain, if you look closely, you will find a really horrible, inhumane system: one that’s expensive, inefficient, and leaves millions of people uninsured or underinsured. 

So every billionaire looking to cut costs, yeah, you two! Listen up! The solution to a big chunk of America's budget nightmare is a healthcare system that comes from a so-called “third-world” country called Colombia, yes from South America. A system that is more humane, compassionate and cost-effective. Isn't that nice?

The Broken American Healthcare Machine

Let's get real about the US healthcare system:

-30 million Americans have no health insurance

-Medical bills crush families financially

-The average family spends $15,000 annually on healthcare

-Millions avoid medical or dental treatment because they can't afford it

Colombia's Surprising Solution

While most Americans think of Colombia for coffee, salsa and football (soccer), they've created a healthcare model that exposes the US system's massive inefficiencies:

1. Universal Coverage: Everyone, and I mean every Colombian citizen, regardless of income, has access to healthcare through a publicly funded system. (97% of the population as of 2023)

2. Affordable Costs: Medical treatments don't require selling your kidneys

3. Two-Tier System: Ensures both poor and working populations get care

4. If you want, there is a private option: Those who want faster or more personalized care can pay into private insurance or healthcare services.

5. Preventive Focus: Catches health issues before they become expensive emergencies

6. Prescription drugs in Colombia cost 2 to 4 times less than in the U.S., thanks to government-negotiated pricing.

7. Administrative costs are minimized, accounting for just 2% of healthcare spending, compared to the U.S.’s bloated 8%.

   
   

The result? Colombians spend $495 per person annually on healthcare, while Americans shell out an astronomical $12,914—over 26 times more.

This system ensures that basic healthcare is treated as a human right, while still allowing flexibility for those who can afford premium services.

Contrast this with the U.S., where millions are uninsured or drowning in medical debt, and even those with insurance often face exorbitant premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket expenses.

The Money Talk: $1 Trillion in Potential Savings

If you guys had the balls to even analyze what would happen if America adopted  Colombia's health care system, you would find out that the US could save $1 to 1.3 trillion annually:

$260 billion by slashing administrative costs.

$100 billion through regulated drug prices.

$500 billion by reducing inflated hospital and service charges.

$200 billion from preventive care and reducing chronic disease management costs.

Additionally it would:

Cover 30 million uninsured Americans

Eliminate medical bankruptcy

Slash individual healthcare costs by 50%

This aligns perfectly with the recent goals stated by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to cut $2 trillion from the federal budget. Reforming healthcare alone could achieve most of that target, while improving quality of life for millions of Americans.

Why Haven't We Changed?

Power and money. Oh yes, the old, cliche, mundane USA bullshit reason for doing anything.

The current healthcare industry is a massive economic ecosystem. Insurance companies, pharmaceutical giants, and private healthcare providers profit enormously from the status quo. Changing this means challenging billion-dollar industries and their comfortable bank accounts.

Can you hear the criticisms? X going crazy? Socialism, communism, fascism, colonialism. Get it? Any ´isms´ you want. But that is all bull crap. This is about economic efficiency. It's about creating a system that actually makes financial sense.

TO THE NEW AMERICAN HEROES

Musk, Ramaswamy - you talk about cutting government expenses? Here's your $1 trillion opportunity. A healthcare model that:

• Reduces national spending

• Increases economic mobility

• Eliminates a massive source of financial stress

  
  

Have you considered how the American people would view you if you delivered this healthcare solution? Imagine millions of families freed from medical debt, no longer terrified of getting sick. You wouldn't just be billionaires - you'd be national heroes, potentially the most beloved figures in modern American history, celebrated for transforming the lives of every working-class family in the country. 

😂🤣🤑🤑🤣😂 Of course, this will never happen. You two couldn't even imagine what helping millions might mean.

The Bottom Line

Colombia has already solved a problem America can't seem to crack. The data is brutally clear: their healthcare model would transform American lives and save astronomical amounts of money.

So Elon, Ramaswamy, the question is: Are you brave enough to use it?

The Colombian system is not perfect, that much is true, but it’s a hell of an improvement over the bloated, inequitable mess that is U.S. healthcare. Let’s stop looking for answers within a broken system and take a lesson from a country that knows how to do more with less.

After all, isn’t it more American to strive for greatness by learning from the best, wherever they may be?

Thanks for reading. Abrazos.
