For health care, bring on market force:
1. Break most hospitals into two highly competitive entities
2. Convert other hospitals into real estate leasing entities with competing surgical suites and nursing wings
3. Separate out drug coverage so hospital systems can run care coverage systems and cut out insurance company overhead and meddlers.
4. Create interstate drug plans that don’t have to cover every drug....Group and exchange plans to offer vouchers at plan set amounts for out-of-formulary drugs.
and....

Provide a National Formulary of American manufactured drugs for standard problems (hypertension, antibiotics, cholesterol, diabetes, anticoagulation, ect.) that are they get with a standard deductible monthly, that is small.

THE CHANNELS & STATIONS ARE SATURATED WITH ADS FOR THIS INSURANCE COMPANY -—OR THAT ONE. 6-9 PER HOUR.

THE MASSIVE COSTS OF SUCH ARE PAID FOR BY YOUR MONTHLY PREMIUMS.

[ridesthemiles]

YOU ARE NOT DISCUSSING THE MASSIVE—RELENTLESS SATURATION OF ADS SOMETIMES 6-9 AN HOUR ON TV.

The ads I see on TV are “Medicare (dis)Advantage” related and the ads (spokesman Joe Namath, etc.), are paid for by insurance broker referral agencies (phone banks) and insurance brokers themselves. The reason they are so prevalent is that the annual commission on selling an “advantage plan” is double or triple that of a supplement (”Plan G”, etc.) plan (~$600-$700. per year vs $300). The health insurance company pays out the same commission to your local home town insurance agent or an agent from a mega scammy agency advertising on TV (including AARP).

Obamacare was written by and for the benefit of the insurance companies.

So what is it that the ads are saying, and what is the implication? (I do not have a TV nor waste my precious time on that foolish monthly expense)
