You’re correct, this is propaganda. That being said, employer provided health coverage should have never been invented. It came about as a way to get around wage controls during WWII.
Free market solutions could easily solve this problem if the FedGov could get cronyism out of the mix and do something that’s actually good for the citizens for a change.
Unlimited tax free health savings accounts that are portable and transferable to heirs. Allow employers to pay into these accounts. Back that up with a catastrophic coverage plan and remove state by state restrictions to create more competition. Most prices would drop like a rock.
For folks on Medicare/Medicaid/VA a hybrid version of the above paid into by the .gov agency providing the benefits.
I agree with this entirely. This won't cover catastrophic health care issues, like a bone marrow transplant for specific malignancies, but it would pay for a lot. Catastrophic health care costs could be covered by much more affordable insurance.
Further, let physicians and health care facilities compete with each other directly. We are doing just the opposite now - with private physicians and smaller hospitals and specialty centers being consumed by large and ever-growing hospital corporations.
