You don’t have to get your health insurance through your employer. Why do people remain stuck on that idea?

I like that idea. The clinics could administer charity care. Tort law should be changed and Nurses allowed to care for minor ailments. Or even Para-Meds. It would be cheap and efficient. However the recipients would probably complain that the care is not free enough.
The health care crisis is easy to solve.
If you are a doctor, clinic or hospital in order to receive a business license where you do business, you must dedicate one day or two days a month to treat the indigent for free.
Then they can right it off on their state and federal taxes.
The costs of treating the poor are spread very wide and the health care professionals don’t have to pay taxes on their earnings if they treat enough people.
If I were a doctor, I would do it.
I would be willing to work for a free a few days a month in exchange for not paying income and/or corporate taxes.
And the money that is saved from government health programs now can go towards funding emergency medicine.
How about the government gets out of health care and the Church takes care of people like it is supposed to do?
