Dude, you can’t fix prices for every contingency, moreover, what about inflation?

If enrollment is only for Medicare/Medicaid providers, this will be another reason for doctors to drop out.

This is too centralized and complex. The only winners here are the totalitarian bureaucrats. I hate technocracy.

*”Dude, you can’t fix prices for every contingency, moreover, what about inflation?”

My plan explicitly allows for justified increases.

Laws can be amended.

Inflation is officially considered small.

Social Security has only been increased by about 10% during Obama’s time in office.

*”If enrollment is only for Medicare/Medicaid providers, this will be another reason for doctors to drop out.”

They almost all [99.99%] impact interstate commerce.

The Medicare/Medicaid/EMTALA stuff is merely make it impractical for state legislatures filled with lawyers to block enrollment.

*”This is too centralized and complex.”

Yes, it is “centralized”. The number of true medical malpractice cases is small.

What you think is “complex” is to me very simple. I’m used to digging through piles of patents that are several feet tall (~5,000 pages of highly technical information)and working on software systems with source code books that stack as high as all the phonebooks for California would have.

*”The only winners here are the totalitarian bureaucrats. I hate technocracy.”

Medicine and medical malpractice is highly technical. So yes, it is appropriate that the cases be first handled by technocrats.

Better to pay technocrats about 10% of the malpractice costs than lawyers about 60%.
