“What we’re seeing is greater sickness levels. The pool of beneficiaries is becoming sicker, in part because healthier people are not coming in at the same level we hoped,” said Chet Burrell, chief executive of CareFirst
You are admitting your scheme of fleecing the taxpayer has now ended
Our elites are determined to maintain us at a bare sustenance level; ObamaCare was designed to eliminate any discretionary funds Americans had, and then drive them into debt slavery.
The unfixable flaw is that many people are going to use anything that they can since "it's insured". A lot of them will end up sicker, because they will get a med or a treatment instead of having to take responsibility upon themselves to stay healthy and make life-style choices that will lead to healing.
Diabetes 2 is primarily caused because people don't take care of their bodies. I would hypothesize that A LOT of the opioid epidemic is caused by prescription meds. Instead of learning to cope with pain, people turn to that high they learned to live with while they were healing. Then there's the replacement body parts for seniors. I'm sure some of these surgeries are necessary. I've also seen situations where things can go horribly wrong and it probably wasn't worth the risk.
What's my point? There would have to be a lowest cost option and a reward for people who choose that. Otherwise, there are no marketplace factors to keep prices and use of medical solutions in line.
