Most people that go to auto repair shops pay the shop directly. Take the insurance companies out of health care.

You go to a doctor, pay the doctor the standard rate. No insurance company’s approval needed, no middleman, just the Doctor and you.

The Doctor’s would be far richer, and happier, and the market would dictate rates and charges. Hardship cases can submit a request for assistance to the city of residence, for information to contact people or organizations willing to lend money to help them. Clearly, as we have seen over the past few weeks...........If Cities, Universities, etc., all have the money to operate as sanctuary cities then the down-trodden should be well taken care of.

Those that agree to drug testing similar to a FFD program which is not asking too much will be given priority over people that refuse. Personally, I’m all for completely defunding Tax dollars that support abortion, NPR, PBS, etc.,
and let’s strongly vet the Welfare roles for fraud, and corruption.

Unfortunately, we need reset the pricing model. There have been too many years of essentially free healthcare and so there have been no limits on the costs of services. The sky was the limit and this is what has driven up costs.

If we were replacing a muffler on our car, we'd shop around and probably find the best deal in town because we are paying for it. However, if every repair to our car was free to us, we wouldn't care how much it costs and if offered the platinum plated muffler, we'd happily take it... because we are not paying for it; someone else is.

My doctors still respond with surprise when I ask how much a medication will cost me. My plan is not the best and so I have to chip in a bit. Not so for most insurance plans although that may be changing with the massive deductibles. I hope.

Yes, exactly, make it transactional again.
