I get the impression from your post that you have an idea. If you’d like to describe it plainly and in some detail, I’d be interested in hearing what it is.
First myth, 30 million people didn’t have health insurance. Everyone has health insurance. You walk into the ER, say you don’t have insurance and you are still treated. Whether it is one or 30 million.
What Obamacare was meant to do was to give those who had to go to the ER for their treatment a better feeling about themselves due to the stigma of having to go to the ER instead of a private doctor. Yes, the entire medical systems was about to come crashing down because an illegal alien has self esteem issues.
There are ideas. One of the main concerns is cancer. Let’s just say it: Cancer. It is #1 for costs with cardiac being a close #2. Next to cardiac in cost is long term acute care, then neonatal, then trauma care.
Hospital and physician costs are the primary drivers at 50% of costs in those five. Drugs costs come in third at 10% of total healthcare costs.
Those are the top five issues with the top three cost drivers. None of those are cheap and everyone is susceptible. Answer the question of how to pay for those nationally and the rest becomes trivial.
