Over time. How much time? Five years? Ten years? Twenty? How long will it take before GE decides that it doesn't want to charge a million dollars for its CT scanner and instead will charge only $10,000? How long before a pharmacutical company or an insurance company doesn't need all that profit?
How long before a pharmacutical company or an insurance company doesn’t need all that profit?
In the case of my wife and I, we have NO health insurance (sinc obamacare kicked in) and take responsibility in our health via what we eat and how we live. We’re both almost 61 and have not NEEDED to see a doctor in years. And even when we did, it was minor (cheap) stuff.
In one case, they told me that if I wanted to just pay for it out of pocket it would be $10 less than the copay if I used my insurance.
Think about THAT one for a minute. And what it implies. :-)
