Replace it with a free market. Government IS the problem. Plunking down a big pot of gold guarantees prices go up. Add in needlessly complex reimbursement schemes increases administrative overhead. On and on.
De-governmentalize and de-insuranceize routine care. Insurance is for disasters, not maintenance. And fedgov has no authorization whatsoever to pay for or provide insurance or health care.
How are the words “access for all” and “coverage for all” different?
1. Access means a lot of people do not have coverage.
2. Coverage means that everyone has some kind of coverage.
Since Trump is no dummy, what do you think he is thinking?
IIRC, when the obamacare debate started years ago, the claim was that something like ONLY 20 million had no POLICY coverage at all. Do you remember the same thing?
Dr Price's bill ( HR2300 or HR3200 ? ) has a tax credit for everyone to go and purchase HSA insurance ( esentially catastrophic ) and you can legally pay for ( with your tax free dollars via the credit ) a Direct Primary Care Plan which is routine care on retainer with no paperwork.
Brilliant...
A most excellent post. Well done.
Government should not be in the insurance business. Or any other business that private enterprise can provide more effectively and efficiently.
Once the government gets its tentacles into something it wants complete control. Politics inevitably take over and economic based decisions go out the window.
I will beat the drum for making all medical expenses a credit on income tax returns, and I understand this will benefit all taxpayers.
