I disagree. Price means nothing of other people are buying all or a portion of your insurance contract for you ,does it?
The question is free market vs communism. There is no constitutional mandate that I have to but anything for some one else. Absolutely not in there. That is outside the constitutional restrictions and is another form of economic system that we fought for 50 years. We never intended to replace sicialized medical insurance anther socialized medical insurance policy. This is RINOCARE. Did you know that if adopted our premiums reduce less than 10% ( if any) because we have to pay for other people and pre existing dread diseases and conditions. That is insane!! Turn back to the free market for those that produce and do some safety net for those that can’t produce or just pick up their ER tab like before? What was wrong with that?
I believe we agree more than you think. The price I’m talking about is not an over-inflated insurance amount. I am talking about a market driven real and competitive price. If I can go to Japan and get an MRI for $200, there is no way any healthcare provider here in the U.S. should charge $5000. Not to me OR an insurance company.
